What does AIG's behavior have to do with my and my colleagues' education and competence?

I agree that educational requirements are vital to our industry remaining competent and responsible and there is plenty of room for improvement in how we educate our new and existing agents, but what does that have to do with AIG's behavior?

I don't think we are bailing out AIG because they didn't have a proper insurance education.

I am so tired of the industry GIANTS abusing their power and influence and instead of people holding THEM accountable for their actions they turn their sites on the industry professionals who are following the rules.

First MARSH and the contingency/profit sharing issues drizzled down to the little guy affecting our bottom line and now AIG's behavior suddenly means that WE are uneducated and reckless? Seriously?

Clearly the giants are tougher to manage than the little guy but hold yourself accountable to either face the issue head on or stay quiet.

If you want to speak about accountability keep your eye on the ball or stop talking!
