Chris Said:

What are some good reasons for changing careers and entering teaching?

We Answered:

Every person would have their own reasons. Ask yourself is this for me? Obviously it's something you're considering. If you know anyone that is a teacher, see if you can spend some time in the room.I'd assume that you wanted to teach children.

Teaching a child something new and watching them grow academically, socially,emotionally over the year is amazing. I believe that in helping children you are helping the future, because they are the future. The children look up to you, trust you, and they ultimately know you are there to help. When you are teaching a whole group of children something, and their "lightbulbs" go off when they learn something it is truly amazing. In classess I've worked with and gone back to visit; to see their excitement to see you is something hard to explain, but it's the best feeling!

Jessie Said:

what reasons can one give for changing a career from being a loans officer to an administrative assistant?

We Answered:

The economy. Loans, especially mortgage loans, are not a very sound career choice at this point. You would like to move to a more stable company, even if it means starting out in the lower rungs as an Administrative Assistant. Stability in the company as a whole is valued by the applicant. Starting at the bottom allows you to learn the company from the bottom up.

Time Conflicts- loan officer isn't a 9-5 job, but an Administrative Assistant usually is. You've had a life change- had a kid, got married, etc, and are looking for a traditional job.

No love for the sales game- you no longer love the sales game and want to get out of loans. You realize that you need to start over again, and therefore and administrative assistant job would be a good fit.
