Starting a new career...

[peetscoffee]

op what are some of your interests and other hobbies ? Don't want to sound like a grade 9 guidance councillor but if your starting new might as well pick something you like.

Coffee, sex, outdoors, finance, astronomy, road trips, not working (if already rich, not my case).

Taking all of the above into consideration . I would recommend that you look into starting your own sex cult.

Thinking the same thing, a male escort.

Ask clients to bring you coffee and offer outcalls for weekend getaways! WIN WIN

There's a lot ladies out there that have a lot of money, target them.

Day trading stocks maybe?

That could go both ways...upwards to 100k or beat you to a measly 10k...

lol. I know, this guy's living in some fantasy world. In another thread he was like "I don't want a stressful job. I just want a job that doesn't require training where I can just kind of talk to people that pays about 60k"....lol.

If you have a technical background and an interest in finance then how about business analyst?

I have not read all postings so maybe it has come up. Have you considered going into the renewable energy (solar, wind) or electric vehicle sector ? There should be many opportunities in the future , whether it be sales, installation, consulting etc.
With an engineering background you may have an edge.

Anyone here work in the Risk management field? I’m looking at a possible career change and would like more info. I have a friend who’s been in insurance for a long time, he said it’s a decent field that someone with a degree and some CRM courses could get into.

Enforcement
Investigation
Reporting
Assessment

Given work from home situations, people are moving to the fringes of the suburbs and condos

I have a feeling that many will regret that decision when the company they work for calls them back into the office after the pandemic is over.

Lots of young people and some not so young are waiting for inheritance to save the day. I personally know of a few individuals and families which make no secrets they are not worried about savings because when the parents pass they will get a large sum.

I know a guy like this but the problem is that by the time his dad passes, he'll also be an old man. He wants the money now when he's young enough to really enjoy it.

Let's say you have a BA and complete the CRM course, but no sales experience. Is this enough to get started ?

Probably can start in a reporting or assessment role. These are typically more operational, shit work but you’ve gotta start somewhere right? Fraud is rampant in insurance so likely a job for life in risk.

I know you’re asking about insurance, but there are all kinds of risk jobs in banking and finance as well. Lots of credit risk, market risk and operational risk jobs.

most of the banks also sell insurance, so there could be jobs there as well.
