Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I won’t feel too bad when the job market cleanses itself of all the useless and unproductive careers out there.
There are still too many RE agents, lenders, car salesmen, sleazy financial advisers(the ones with out a degree that sell mostly insurance and mutual funds), and self professed home flippers.
Many of these people will find out what it is like to work a real job in the near future.
