Just Asking

IN EVERY PROFESSION, legal, medical, dental, educational, financial, construction, in all the white collar professions, there are standards of required performance, oversight, and evaluation. Or am I imagining all this? All I know is, during my decades as a teacher, there was always somebody, some administrative higher up, looking over my shoulder, evaluating my performance. Sometimes those administrative higher up evaluaters were the students themselves. Every college class I ever taught included a survey taken by the students on the last day of class concerning the student's reaction to the class, whether it was beneficial, whether the instructor taught the class effectively, etc. A strange feeling, standing there quietly while a room full of college students writes an evaluation of the class you just spent a semester teaching. I recall sometimes I left the room. When I retired, I moved my retirement savings account from my employer to my stockbroker, who recommended some investments for me. He recommended one in particular so strongly that he went in on it fifty fifty with me when I decided to go for it, even though the financial services industry prohibited him from making this investment. He did it anyway, by laundering money, which he borrowed from me. Then, the investment turned out to be a scam, and we lost all our money. Now I wonder whether my stock broker is responsible for my loss, as well as the investment broker who scammed both my stockbroker and myself.. How disastrously can white collar results be, in any profession, legal, medial, or financial, without disciplinary and remedial action being required? People who render professional public service, medical, legal, financial, etc., must not be constantly assailed with malpractice accusations, but neither should they be presumed immune to accountability. Where is the justice?
