Career Change....?

I have been a wholesale mortgage underwriter for 5 years; In the consumer finance biz for 10 yrs. I have been laid- off 3 times (2 times in the last year). I'm very fustrated and pretty much done with the industry as a whole. Only thing is that I'm lost! I have no idea what I can do/ want to do for a living. I really cannot go back to school full time because I need a full- time job to make ends meet. I have a college degree (in History, I wish I could do that over again) that I really do not use. So I guess what my question is, has anyone out there been in this situation? If so, what did you do? What process did you use to come to your end result? And my final question... What the heck can somone do with their only experience coming from the consumer finance industry?

  1. lots of opportunities for u, as long as u can speak english, good chatacter,smart,deligent, motivated.working in the bank, or some consultancy companies,, lots lots ...dont be frustrated, there are many people out there who got language problems, not much experiences,..... dont think it will be the end day soon. be optimistic, proactive with ur life. As long as u really put effort into something, you will receive the good, this is the life/living/working cycle.
  2. Look into the possibility of becoming a Bank Manager. They have steady work, good hours, great working conditions, and terrific benefits. Your salary will depend upon your experience, which, by the sounds of it, you seem to have what it takes to get top dollar in exchange for your time. Consider taking the civil service test for positions of interest. Just visit their website for a lits of current job openings, and the required test for that position. Hope this helps.
