Why do you keep asking such asinine questions???  It isn't the end of the world if you become an FA and don't like it/quit/fail.

Are you one of those people who can't get anything done today because they are too worried about 10 years from now?  If so, I guarantee you will fail in this business.

it looks like you either did not make it or just not happy with your life.

which one is it?

sorry to be so rough.

but the reason I am asking is because after reading this forum for a couple of months, i've seen very bad attitudes, bad personalities, and just a bunch of grumpy people.

and to be honost I dont want to turn out to be another NASD Newb

although I believe the career doesnt make the person and bullsh*t like that, I do see quite a resemblence amongst many FAs

I just want to make sure I am correct

I'd suggest to you that most of those who leave their brain pharts on this forum are not seasoned enough to be veterans, nor mature enough to realize that your question is actually very important.

You will see the punk who answered about why you even ask the question doesn't consider this a career--to him it's just something to do when he's not drunk.

It's ok to be cynical or skeptical.  I love what I do, and so do the FAs on this board, but it doesn't mean that you can't be a cynic or think the bulk of the population is filled with morons.

I would be interested in knowing how many true veterans read this board.  I think it would be interesting if everybody just posted a few pieces of information such as this

At least you have a sense of humor.  I understand your concern, however, you’ve asked the same question twenty different ways.  I am giving you an honest opinion, unlike NASD, who mearly responded to you as an opportunity to try (unsuccessfully) to offend me.

I concur with your post. Why are so many people on this board so negaitive. Most people with negaitive personalities never make it in sales - selling anything. I myself came on here to engage in professional dialog with intelligent people, so far I have had marginal success.

Why not repost some of your intelligent dialog and see if it gets responded to?

You are funny, I am going to have a great time messing with you. You seem to be the type who is 5'1 , and pocket full of pens, fat and always teased at a kid. You know the nerd in high school that became a cop and always hid behind his badge. Most every post on here about you is negative, I say you should take that into consideration.

Is a tourmentor a guy who trains travel agents?
