me ? sarcastic ? - did she quit a 135k a year job because she was only making 67.5k....?
did she find new work ?
for how much ?
was her new employment same industry ?
incomplete anectodal crappola to back up a premise stinks.
sarcastic ? me ?
Anecdotes never usually prove a point, despite certain posters claims otherwise.
When real estate agents and brokers quote income figures, they're almost always talking about gross commissions, not net after their quite considerable expenses. Someone with gross commissions of about 67.5 K might net only about 25 K after desk fees, car expenses (gas prices lately haven't helped) and advertising layouts. Many agents I've known personally have spent money like drunken sailors, when the crunch comes, it really comes.
