Slowdown?

[Marko11]

Hello,
I am a newbie to this forum, thank you for having me. I'm a Certified appraiser in his 30's based in San Diego that has decided to commit 100% of my time to appraising as an independent contractor. Is anyone else experiencing an extreme slowdown in appraisal assignment requests and bids? I am registering with appraisal management companies every day from the BREA AMC list. I have a couple clients that throw me a bone every once and a while but it seems like I am trying really hard to expand my client base and I have been rarely receiving assignments. Any recommendations on how to obtain more work? Thank you for reading my post and I would really appreciate any constructive feedback. Thanks!

very slow on the east coast,

However, there are many of us lucky enough to get past 65 and work because we need something to do to keep our brain active.

Looks like the Masters Degree has become the new High School Diploma . I Never encountered so many form filling UAD type people with Masters Degrees --Will we see PHD'S entering residential loan production work in year 2023 ? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe its time for the AMC recruiters to start to hit the Harvard and Yale campuses

Millennials and Gen Zers have been told a master's degree is the new bachelor's — the minimum level of education needed to land a prestigious, well-paying job. But new research indicates this advice is misleading at best and cynical at worst.

Many master's degrees — including 62% of MBAs, by one estimate — have zero effect on a grad's lifetime earnings. And what are the most financially worthless degrees? According to one researcher, that honor goes to a master's in the arts, humanities, or theology.

I think it was Chauncy Gardner who said that...

Actually, this is a better time to diversify away from Real Estate Appraisal! TBH - LOL
