Never go to law school. Some rich people are useless and they like it that way.
All that book keeping and de facto property management I've been doing on a massive estate for a rich person who died, is going south quick.
Industrial street with rental property all around it.... Worth Millions. Throws off tens of thousands of dollars in rental income a month. I've been accounting/managing for the whole thing, despite other people screwing with the records etc. Moreover, I've been handling the money for the personal estate for the widow, etc. It's been a massive undertaking. The old rich guy, who I sorta respected because he worked at it, used to do it but you see, he's dead. So....
Somebody needs to manage this damn property, or it falls apart. Now, "nobody" does it, in actuality. Hello, my name is "nobody." In make "believe bullshit land," the heirs do it. Welcome to "make believe bullshit land." That is to say, the heirs "manage" the property in name only while doing no work.
The heirs' idea of "managing" the property is to call up and complain to the firm, which means me.
The heirs get all the money, titles, credit, and authority that goes with managing this prestigious property.
I do all the work, get yelled at for it and have 0 recognition or record of it with embarrassingly low pay.
So, "Am I managing and doing the finances for an entire industrial/commercial street of properties worth several million dollars?" Yes. Is there any record of me doing so (except for all the financial records having been done by me on my computer). Hell no. Instead. The heirs will get credit for this. If I were to put it on a job application and someone looked into it, they wouldn't see my name or any trace of me, but I'm the one who did everything and had to listen to the "managers" (heirs) who did exactly nothing but complain to remind me they are in charge..... They don't feel like doing anything except complainin' and takin' their money.... They do take the money....
Forgetting the lack of cash aspect of it (which let's face it is hard) for a second, I'd at least like the credit or some kind of recognition for doing it. Not gonna happen though. I mean really, if I did put this on my resume' how would anyone even find a trace of it? It isn't like they can see the records I composed on my computer while looking at my resume' in a stack of resumes....
[sigh] I did this all Saturday night. The heirs or "managers" got drunk and told me about it on Monday....
