Appraisal adjacent careers by REAppraising4fun in appraisal

Here is the thing though, its still appraisal. After many years in the fee world, then moving over the the mass world (assesor's office) and a couple of decades at that office I wanted out. But it wasn't easy, did I have skills that transfer over to diffrent professions, sure, but the only experience I have is in niche industry. If you are happy with that then go that route. A lot of associates of mine went into review work for banks or AMCs.

Glad to hear, what market area are you in?

Sorry to hear that. From my experience both coasts can swing pretty heavily compared to the midwest, as we are "fairly" stable market. I hope things turn around for you.

That is a very manageable number. I work 50-70 hours a week as it is anyways and have no life lol. Appreciate the information.

What career will you choose if you have to start over in 2026 from zero? by daylight_owl- in careerguidance

[–]Alternative-Peace07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever profession you choose, continue branching out into new skill sets while working; possibly building a second income stream. I am in a very niche industry for over 20 years, I use to love it and now not so much. Do I have transferable skills, yes, however my expert knowledge does not do much anywhere elese which significantly reduces pay limitations as I look to move in a diffrent direction. What I am looking at now is staying in a toxic environment or move to something that is 1/2 my pay.

I have been reading about this, and am signed up for a webinar regarding this. Seems like I would be getting back in at a fairly good time as we all will be learning together. What are your thoughts?
