The job search has seriously stepped up. I have no complaints about that!
The insurance and financial services industry is difficult to get into. Even more so if you're my age and have had any employment difficulty. I think the majority of people in that field enter it right out of high school or college.
However, I am getting interviews. I have at least three interviews this week and may wind up with more this week or next.
I have an interview with Farmers tomorrow. Going on intuition, if they offer me a solid position, I may well take that and cancel the other interviews.
No matter what, in the long term, I am planning on getting two jobs in the near future. For security. Then keep both for quite some time.
All of this may be just what my karma has been trying to tell me for a long time now. That it's time to pick up and move on to another career, out of clinical medicine. I have a feeling that this change is going to make a huge financial improvement for me.
I feel no guilt. In 20 years of nursing, I have done a lot of good for a lot of people. Saved lives, eased pain, mentored and acted as an example, advised and more. Now it's time for me to think about me and my daughter for a change. I'm not getting younger and need to get my finances in better condition.
Daughter isn't getting any younger and in a few years she will need money for college, a car and lots of other things. I want to be able to help her with those needs. I also want her to look at her father and be proud, not embarrassed. This is all aside from wanting to take her on real vacations to see other parts of the world. Or at least the US. (Though Europe would be nice..)
