Don’t knock the usefulness of them running into JWM, it could lead to a major life adjustment. It’s reminds me of how I got out of the RE game myself.
Back in 1990 I was an agent for Century 21 in Allentown PA. I was working a Saturday morning (August 2nd to be exact). I was cold-calling people in a neighborhood I knew pretty well. The homeowner answered the phone, I gave my best friendly greeting, then had to pull the phone away from my ear to blunt the resultant tirade that I had to endure for calling this guy on a Saturday morning. I hung up the phone and thought: gee, there’s got to be more to life than this. Maybe I should go to college.
Someone like JWM put me on the path to become a physician, so go ahead JWM, let ’em have it!
