Glory

Auctioneering might seem like it's all about the sale, but it's also about making your customers happy. You can transform a house full of painful memories into quick cash, so a grieving family gets a fresh start. You could connect a budding cook with the machines he needs to start a restaurant. Or you might be the one to hand Gina the reins of her new pony.

There are other perks to being great at your job: You might look for industry fame at a bid calling championship, where you'll compete to prove that you have the fastest mouth in the land. Another way to make a name for yourself is to keep your nose to the grindstone, and make awesome sales...it'll get you noticed. And, if you go for professional certification, you could get some cool acronyms after your name.
