In my industry, professionals are generally reluctant to embrace change at all, particularly as it applies to an "opening" of the market. Look at what happened with the stock brokerage industry (consumers were given information, then the ability to trade stocks inexpensively online via eTrade, Ameritrade, et all). That may seem like an incongruous comparison, but understand that continued resistance to change dooms a professional group or labor group to always being reactionary. A proactive approach to actual change would seem to be better in the long run, i.e. - learn to benefit from the changes rather than try in vain to resist.Maryland homes for saleWed, 05 Nov 2008 11:39:35 -0000
