I'm curious to what your dad said.
He basically told me it's very good pay but a ton of hours and very hard to get into. He said some people work for years as salesmen waiting for a position to open and then the dealership just ends up hiring someone from outside with a lot of experience.
As far as some of the other jobs spoken of ITT, I have done a lot of research into them but have come up empty. I guess I just have no idea how to even look for jobs effectively.

quote:If you don't mind where do you see them? I scour job search sites and generally stalk the banks in our area that post open positions on their websites.
I always see opportunities at banks for underwriters, it's a start that will give you experience and allow you to move on within a couple of years.

OP, ever thought of being a finance manager in car sales? $5k/mo guarantee is usual starting area, and you have to be terrible to not cover your guarantee. Plus can move up to sales, service, or general manager one day.

Are the banks no longer hiring out of school?

quote:Can't get into that since I've already said I have a gov't job collecting taxes. Just don't want anything coming back on me. I'll say I live in traditional SEC country near a city.
Where do you live?

I'd check into banking/mortgage operation centers (call centers). Pay is decent (more than you are at now) and work can suck, but it will get your foot in the finance door and build some experience in the field.

ever thought about being a surety / bond underwriter? Serious need for talent
No I have not. I've looked into mortgage and insurance underwriting though and I can never find anything that doesn't require prior multi-year experience. I usually apply anyway though.

Any interest in commercial lending? If so, what area?
Absolutely. In fact the person who inspired me to major in finance was a commercial lender. If I had to choose an area that has always interested me the most I would have to say Real Estate.

I considered the air force after graduating but I had a partial hip replacement when I was 19 and couldn't qualify medically.

Hey good people of the TigerDroppings Money board. Long time lurker and I created this account specifically so I could ask for some advice from the esteemed professionals on this board.
I'm 26 and currently a gov't employee making under 22k/year take home. I have a finance degree but other than a brief stint as a bank teller a couple years ago I have no experience outside of what I'm doing now which is just tax enforcement (collection). This is a dead end job. The benefits are nice but if I stay here for 30 years I'll still be making relatively the same amount.
I honestly do not know where to go from here job wise. I went to college wanting to one day be a loan officer, but, other than taking a job at a financial service company (tower loan, republic finance, etc...), I have no idea where to get the required experience. This isn't an option because my wife cannot relocate after the 1 year management training period.
Even when I do find something online that is in a business/marketing/finance field and is listed as "entry level", it still has required qualifications that I just can't meet. I feel like I'm stuck in a catch-22.
So I just need advice really on just what I should be doing. I'm open to pretty much any industry I can make a living in.
