Its about time someone addresses the issues I have been in the industry for 40+ yrs. and the quality of individuals that have come into the industry in the past 10 yrs is a joke all they care about is the money and when I got my brokers license. It was not taking courses for 52 hrs and passing a test you had to have the exp (years + a recommendation in writing from a employer stating that you were qualified to be a broker) the industry has gotten out of hand everyone got licensed and everyone became a broker- no distinguish between a solicitor and a broker- we have individuals in the industry that have no idea what to do or how to get the job done. You might say they can not work out of the box. I feel now the industry will see what happens when you have high paid individuals with designations-without the experience-knowledge. Maybe there will be some consideration to the people that are close to retirement that they are not too old to work in the industry and not be discriminated against as has been the case for the past 10 + years.
