Smile Mortgage Banker No More.

After braving it through the crap of the mortgage market for the last 5 years without sacrificing my integrity, committing fraud, selling sub-prime and being an overall success in the industry a client was so impressed that he offered me a job with his company.

AT&T is now my boss.

Proof that despite the most adverse economic conditions Michigan will ever see that there are still opportunities to make a good living.

Awesome. You going to give me a hookup on mobile service?


AT&T is pretty big. I am also curious as to what you will be doing.

It's good to hear that good things happen to good people.

What will your role be at AT&T?

Good luck with your new job, Jeff. Mistress is all in a dither about where she will turn the next time she needs a mortgage.

A guy at the gym makes just over $10.00 bucks an hour with A.T.&T. at an incoming call center. After previously earning $102K a year as some sort of project manager, he's excited to be earning anything after his unemployment ran out. With numbers like that, he said he's convinced there's not too much downside to it.

There may be a lot of people adjusting their lives over the next decade.
Depends on how prudent they led their lives when flush. If they did not the change could hurt.

It always pays to have something going on the side that can be driven upward if required. To tie your fate to one job and one employer is no longer rational in my opinion. Certainly it may also last. Things in general though may become beyond any individual employers control.
