re: Career Path - Appraiser or Insurance

I’d really say insurance. At 45 (with two kids and a wife that was a stay at home) I almost took the leap and went into insurance. I had it tee’d up down to the fact I had a resignation letter written to my bank. Just got that gut feeling to not do it as I didn’t feel like I had enough saved up and what if I only hit 25% of what I was projecting sales/income wise the first three years instead of 100% or more of projections.

The what negative what ifs got me. I kick myself that I didn’t do it in my 20’s or 30’s when I had less debt, less responsibility and my wife was working (before kids).
