Hello to all. I just stumbled upon this forum today while researching a career change for my wife. I have been reading for about 30 minutes, and I have already learned more about this industry than in all my 40+ years of life.
As I said, I am doing career research. My wife has had many different jobs in her lifetime. She has worked in offices and also sales of various types among other things. She enjoys sales more than any other type of work; it just seems that she just never found her niche.
My wife is an incredible salesperson. In her current position, (banking) she was at the top of the state rankings in her first quarter of selling - then every quarter after that. She's kind of a machine like that. She is just not happy with her current position due to corporate issues. She is very self motivated and extremely driven. Every job she has, she excels.
Our concern is that she is middle-aged (low 50's - sorry dear!). She does not have 15 to 20 years to establish a book of business. However, we do not need to make a ton of money either. Our household income was about 75K last year. It would be nice to make a little more, but that is not essential. We are looking more for personal fulfillment here. She is very interested in insurance or a related field and I am interested in any advice other members can give.
Thank you for this great forum!
