Hi all,
I am coming to the end of a two year stint as a lumber broker, where I had to build my own book. Looking for my next move that does not require cold calling. I have about 6 months until I feel that I need to make a decision. Any thoughts or opportunities come to mind that I could make a lateral move towards?

First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?
