995 V3 ch229 Intro to Ryan (2)

"What are some of the advantages and disadvantages you have come across after going the solo route?" Mom asked. 

"One of the advantages would have to be that I can decide who I want to go after and cater to." Ryan looked at her. "When you first join an agency as an intern, you're automatically stuck at the bottom of the totem pole. You run the errands like getting coffee and filling the paper tray in the printer. Then you slowly move up and do some of the reports. We're kind of similar to scouts, looking for the best players to represent or who has a lot of upside. Sometimes you'll come across great players with poor attitudes, but since you're not in charge, you just have to deal with it. Personally, I rather represent mediocre players with good personalities."
