Most golf pros work 50-70 hours per week and it becomes more like work than play when the hours are that extreme. Many of us might love to spend that much time at the gold course, just as many golf pros would gladly work indoors for the financial opportunity afforded the Loan officer.

Of course that is hypothetical proposition for the most people anyway because golf pros have to study, test and qualify to be a pro. Plus most people suck at golf which make the "playing ability" part of the testing just plain impossible.

Mortgage pros do not have such rigorous required education, training and qualifications.

This is why knowledge and expertise are such valuable assets for a Loan Officer.
