You have answered your own question by the lampooning you started your post with. I came to this career late in my life but I can tell you no other position is as satisfying, productive and meaningful as being an insurance professional. I think we all could use a little cheerleading in our lives; I am damn proud that our company, our staff, claims adjusters, and our agents have kept their eye on the ball these past few years because we are the example of how things can still be well, even when their is bad news all around. We even thrive in bad situations because we keep doing the right thing, at the right time, all the time. Pride comes before a fall, they say and it's an attitude and condecendence on the part of many in the financial services industry which lead us down the primrose path we now find our economy, and that is the only thing I can see that is OBVIOUS. Obviously, no one wants to be preached to, but I for one am very proud to be an insurance professional.
