Hey there! I totally understand the frustration and stress that comes with hopping from one unstable job to another, especially after investing time and money into obtaining a college degree. It can be overwhelming and discouraging, but don’t worry, there are definitely options for finding a more stable and honest job that aligns with your business degree. Let’s dive into some practical advice and tips to help you secure a job that provides the stability and security you’re looking for.
1. Assess Your Skills and Interests
– Take some time to reflect on your skills, strengths, and interests. What are you passionate about? What are you good at? Understanding your own abilities and areas of interest is crucial in identifying potential career paths that would be a good fit for you.
2. Explore Alternative Career Paths
– Just because you have a business degree doesn’t mean you’re limited to traditional business roles. Think outside the box and consider alternative career paths that may offer more stability and fulfillment. For example, you could explore opportunities in project management, data analysis, human resources, or operations management.
3. Research In-Demand Industries
– The job market is constantly evolving, and certain industries may offer more stability and job security than others. Consider conducting research on industries that are currently in high demand and experiencing growth. Look for industries that align with your skills and provide stable employment opportunities.
4. Networking and Building Connections
– Networking plays a critical role in securing stable and honest job opportunities. Reach out to your professional network, attend industry events, and connect with professionals in your desired field. Building relationships and making connections can open doors to potential job opportunities that may not be publicly advertised.
5. Further Education and Certifications
– Depending on your career aspirations, pursuing further education or obtaining relevant certifications may significantly enhance your job prospects. Consider enrolling in courses or obtaining certifications that are valued in your desired industry. This additional education and training can make you more competitive in the job market.
6. Consider Government and Nonprofit Organizations
– Government and nonprofit organizations often offer stable and honest job opportunities with a focus on public service and social impact. These organizations may have openings that align with your business degree and provide the stability you’re looking for. Explore job listings within these sectors and consider the potential for long-term career growth and security.
7. Seek Guidance from Career Counselors
– It can be beneficial to seek guidance from career counselors or professional career coaches who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific career goals and aspirations. Career professionals can assist in identifying potential job opportunities, refining your resume and cover letter, and preparing for interviews.
8. Stay Persistent and Optimistic
– Finding a stable and honest job may take time and persistence, so it’s important to stay optimistic and determined throughout your job search journey. Keep applying for relevant positions, continuously expand your professional network, and remain open to new opportunities that come your way.
By taking proactive steps and exploring alternative career paths, you can certainly increase your chances of finding a stable, honest job that provides the security and stability you desire. Remember to leverage your skills, network with professionals, and stay resilient in your job search efforts.

Just work an office job. You could very easily do so in insurance. You may need to start a little lower down the chain than you’d prefer but it shouldn’t be too hard to make decent money after a year or two.
Be an engineer. Easiest money ever.
Wastewater. It’s not going anywhere and there are plenty of office jobs in support. You don’t have to jump into the sewer. The sales side is much more relaxed compared to insurance or commission only roles.
Dunno much about business degrees but it’s very generic. Not sure why you’re having trouble with a stable and consist job.
What usually ends up happening in the unstable jobs
If you knew that, whatever you picked, it would be stable, honest and safe, what would you choose? What appeals to you?
I used to work for non-profit organizations, I ditched that cause I was always overworked and was paid very little. Went in the insurance business, got the same experience as you, now I work as a bureaucrat in my local regional city (would be called a town for most people around the globe, but here its truly a city since aint no one town half as big in a territory twice as big as belgium). The pay is meh, but the benefits are really good (2 MONTHS OF LEAVES BY YEAR WHAAAAT?) and the job is stable. Its honest work, even if the politicians do drive us crazy from time to time. There are also a lot of carreer advancement opportunnities.
When you became an insurance agent, did you do your series certifications? Like Series 11 and Series 77 might be the ones for stock broker. There are other Series for insurance. Maybe your next closest step forward is one of those certifications.
Do you have any technical skills like Excel? That’s probably all you need to start. You can spin what you’ve done into soft skills for your resume.
My advice is to look at direct job postings on company websites but for different types of firms. Specifically businesses near you, you can even look on Google maps and discover firms you never knew existed.
Places like engineering, consulting, telecommunications, even nonprofits, all these types of companies could have openings for general positions like “business analyst” or something. Don’t feel like jobs are inaccessible to you just because they don’t continue from your previous industry/line of work.
Idk man, get into IT 😂
Whoever gave you that degree let you down if you are asking these questions.
Business degree can do just about ANYTHING.
Marketing analyst, ecommerce, analytics, bank teller, digital media, mortgages, list goes on and on. Pick an industry and then look at entry level jobs and work your way up the ladder for a career.
DM me if you want advice. Helping my gf through this now as she’s finishing her business degree and she’s killing it. I have a business degree myself that I almost completely wasted if it wasn’t for some very good advice given to me. Always looking to paying it forward.
A business degree/college degree is pretty much useless. If you have an MBA and want to work in management or consultant in an company, it’s useful.
If you want a stable job, there are only a few out there. Medical field, lawyer, or get a skilled trade like electrician/mechanic.
There are other relative stable jobs that are not “sexy”. Store manager at well-known fast food place (starbucks/mcdonalds), walmart, kroger, etc.. Pay is okay and it’s stable. Just have to deal with idiot customers from time to time. I know district managers at these restaurant/retail chains making 6/7 figures.
You’ll only make money from insurance if you’ve been in there for awhile. A few years plus. You’re not make money in the first few years. Most people burnouts because of the nasty customers, constant rejections, and long hours to make decent money.
Go into accounting.
Find something that interests you
Insurance sales is an honest job. Everything requires insurance these days: auto, home, health, life. I know a lot of guys making $500k+ doing insurance.
The job isn’t the problem. You are the problem. Sounds like you are looking for the carrot without putting in the work. You’re what, 2-3 years out of college? Find a job and stick with it. And it will become stable.
Contact your university. Reach out to alumni. If there are companies you are targeting, find people to help you get in the door.
Look for companies that still do well in recessions. Think Adp, paychex, and other big payroll/HR service providers.
Typically their starting salary isn’t the best but you get REAL career growth, stability, and opportunities to learn.
You can DM if you need other advice
No corporate world job is safe or honest
See if you qualify for civil service examinations with your local government. Steady pay, good benefits and with a degree you’ll fit right in.
Learn a trade. Work with your hands.
