Work at a bank and gain some experience then move your way up.
Find something you donβt hate that makes you some sort of income and get really good at that thing. You will have to work on the side to make it happen and it will suck a lot at the start but it will be a life worth living
The insurance field is always looking for people and is constantly understaffed. Look at underwriting assistant positions at some of the larger carriers, Chubb, AIG, Zurich etc. Some will pay for a degree or give some assistance and then you can move up. Itβs never to late Iβve worked with people who have made changes very late in life. 37 is not to old at all to make a change.
If you can stomach sales, try recruiting. You have the potential to make bank in it if you can do well. The company I work for seems to like hiring fresh out of college kids, but itβs definitely not something that you need a degree for.
Can you get a real estate license?
Well since this is a sub for Financial Careers maybe look into becoming a mortgage broker? You will need to get a license though if I understand it correctly.
Alternatively maybe move to South Carolina? It is supposedly on a brink of a boom with all the maritime logistics projects being completed. Maybe a career in shipping?
Commercial Real Estate Brokerage. Can make six figures in Y2. Lotta cold calling, lotta bullshit. I donβt consider it finance per se but it is a good paying field.
Client Service Associate, work with clients and advisors. Learn the biz and find your path. You will need to gain knowledge and experience but its a good place to start
Everybody needs a roof! NOT everyone needs an RV!
Rail roading
Rental property inspections for a while and then go for a management position in rental management with the experience, save money, all the deals on good properties will be right in front of you and youβll know which places makes money etc. then snag a deal when it comes up and keep building until you can live off rental income.
Flight attendant also a good route
Look into procurement (buyer) or customer service roles, many of them are work from home and pay very good
If I think of more Iβll post again. Praying for you man. 37 isnβt too old at all. You got this, trust the process, keep your head up, never stop applying or looking for more money even if youβre not qualifiedβ¦ still always apply!!!!!
