I just got home from the FMA meeting @ South. It was very, very depressing.
The speaker was a financial planner from Ameriprise w/ a recent finance graduate who is his para-planner.
How ironic is it that I just posted this morning about how nostalgic I was about my last job and then I have to go and hear this!
It's not fair. Life isn't fair though I guess. I was a para-planner and I was suppose to help take-over the team eventually. Just like this girl. Except she had no previous experience and I have a lot.
It's depressing. Why did I have to get laid off? Why did they make up that rule? I guess everything happens for a reason. But I don't like having it rubbed in my face.
I don't think I'll be going to many more FMA meetings. People ask the same stupid questions and speakers talk about the same stupid things. If you don't know how people get clients... you shouldn't be a business major. And yes, for the millionth time, we know what asset allocation and annuities are.

Broken promises
Today at work while I was scanning my endless room of loan files... I started to daydream. I always do this because scanning... doesn't take any brainpower whatsoever. I started to think about my last job at the brokerage firm. It has been almost a year since I was laid off.
It baffles me how co-workers who cry when they find out your leaving never contact you after you actually leave. The ones who beg management to let me stay and try to find a way around the rules. How they made me reassure them I would be coming back as soon as graduated... that this was only "temporary." I don't feel as though I don't have a place there anymore. They don't contact me at all... I feel as I am the only one who tries to keep in touch.
I understand being busy but it has been a YEAR. Maybe they don't want to talk to me anymore because they don't want to lead me on any farther. That's what I'm assuming.
It hurts and I feel as though a dream has been crushed. The day they told me I lost my job I could see all of my plans shattering... but I was reassured that this wouldn't change a thing. I don't know anymore. I need to start looking for a post-college job for real now I guess.
My current place of work is great... everyone is so nice and it really is a good environment to work in. Unfortunately, there isn't any job there I could have after I graduate. Either a loan originator or a loan processor. Hmm... pure commission or doing paperwork all day... no thanks.
