It Was Time to Make a Career Change I spent about three years working as an on-site sales agent. While I enjoyed helping young couples get into their first home, I was beginning to think that it was time for me to move on.  I admit that it was also obvious that the other on-site sales agents were still resentful of my success, and they gave me the cold shoulder. It has always been difficult for me to understand this... Read more
