I was speaking with someone the other day and he commented on what a tough job I have and wondered how I can do it each day.  From his perspective, he thinks that all day I meet with people who have problems and their problems would just drag down my emotions.

Well, lets be honest.  People don’t call me because they are managing to pay all of their bills on time and everything is fine.  They call me because something has happened in their life and they need a plan to get back on track with their debt.  Everyday I hear alot of sad stories.  I think about the single parent struggling to raise a child, or the person who’s income is decreased as they are recovering from a lenghtly illness.  But the important thing to remember is that I am here to help.  There are financial options available, and more often that not, once the person hears there are options they leave my office happy knowing that after so long they finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

It is rewarding to receive a phone call from someone who has just completed their consumer proposal thanking me for all of the help and letting me know how their life has improved.  Or an email from someone just discharged from bankruptcy thanking me for not making them feel embarrased becuase they had to file.  But the best reward happens when I receive a new caller letting me know their friend referred them to me because they are happy with my service.  In what other profession do you get so many thank yous?
