There's an article I've been meaning to write for a while called Death to the Salesmen. I've spent a large part of my career working on products for insurance agents, real estate agents, and car salesmen. My experience has left me with one conclusion: we should eliminate most of these jobs. They're about as predatory toward the customer as they come, adding little value in most cases. There are certainly cases where they do add a lot of value but mostly because of government regulations, cartels, and monopolies they have a much bigger footprint than they should have in anything resembling a just world.
