When I was 19 years old I managed to get a job as an assistant to a mortgage loan consultant.
When I got the job (through strong persuasion and by carrying myself well) I felt on-top of the world. At the age of 19 I was making $32,000/yr and that was pretty good I thought. At first I felt a strong sense of respect from my boss. But now, he just treats me like ****, our incompetent processor realized that every time she screws up she can easily blame me and does so. Even when I prove my case…I don’t get an “I’m sorry” after receiving very very insulting emails like; “I work sooo hard to build my reputation and I’m not going to let anyone, including you, ruin it.”
The funny thing is that he wants me to work for him for at least 3 years. I mean I go out of my way for him and he knows it. I sometimes work on Saturdays (and I don’t get paid because I’m salaried) and many times come in early or even leave very late to help him with his loans.

But what upsets me even further is that the previous assistant received $10,000 more just because she had a college degree…however I do more then her and do it right but get less when a college degree doesn’t matter in this industry. I feel horrible given the many personal attacks he throws at me: “Are you just lazy, or careless, or just not focused. Please tell me so that I can figure out or at least rule out that you are not mentally disabled,” or “I can’t wait to see the day you will actually do what I want”---all these comments were due to a mistake the processor did and many times were thigns that were out of my control.
I feel horrible, I get that at home I don’t need it at work. I’M CRYING.

Carry on working here while you look for another position in the same industry. There are MANY mortgage companies that would be interested in a qualified person. DON'T make the mistake of quitting UNTIL you have another position, and DON'T tell your prospective employer that you are looking for another job because of all the reasons you outline here...they will NOT believe you and think you are going to probably be a problem employee and look elsewhere. Just tell them that although you really enjoy what you do you are looking for an opportunity to grow and you feel you have reached a position where you can't grow where you are.. good luck!

I worked the Mortgage business for 5 years. It's cut-throat. Competition is high and the business itself is unregulated by any government agency (vs. a bank or credit union). You are making way too little of an income here, there are high commissions in this business that somebody else is getting, not you. You need to pick up those feet and look for another company. They are not only robbing the public, but are robbing you. Don't ever take mentall abuse from any employer. You are a worthwhile human being and have a lot to offer another broker. The man is getting rich on you and at the same time has a punching bag (you). Get OUT of there!

it quite is unlucky that your boss is treating you that way; although, in case you have been to bypass away that interest top now, ought to you're making greater suitable than $32,000 a 300 and sixty 5 days someplace else? If not, you're able to desire to to post with your boss for a mutually as longer till you will discover or qualify for yet another interest which will pay a minimum of as plenty. It feels like your boss is an offended/pissed off guy or woman. he's probable in simple terms venting at you for the reason which you ensue to be there, not because of the fact he would not such as you or thinks which you're actually not a physically powerful worker. the reality that he needs you to maintain working for him for yet another 3 years or greater shows that he does actual fee you as an worker. attempt to not take his criticisms so in my opinion. next time he wrongly blames you for something or loses his temper, attempt to remind your self that he's doing that because of the fact he has an anger administration concern and it quite is not something to do with you - it quite is in simple terms an unlucky ingredient of your boss' character. stable luck!

You have a boss who is mentally disturbed. If you have an HR department [unless its a small business] I'd report it. Otherwise, start looking for a job, land it and then move on. I'm sure you'll find something better with you experience.
In everybody's life, we are placed in a certain place and time for a reason.
Hang in there.
