Micro I could not agree more. I didn’t vote for the O either but he is my president and I will indeed respect him and give him the shot he deserves. I hope I was wrong in my fears aas well.
Actually I think the 20 years in the field is more impressive then anything. I am blessed to work everyday with people who have PhDs and who are pretty much way smarter then I. My work is extremely challenging and I really enjoy it. I cannot describe just how orthogonal it is to real estate though. One job is based on logic and technical achievement while the other is based on dealing with emotional trainwrecks and focusses primarly on interpersonal skills.
ps I would like the bandaid ripped off to but it looks like they are putting more bandaids on and then a freeking plaster cast.
