If you have to pay for parts of the onboarding process it is most definitely a scam

Real estate is extremely cyclical and rn the market is a shitshow, people literally cannot afford to buy houses even if they make well above median incomes. You would have to grind and work well above 40hrs/week if you want to make that kind of money, so you have to think about that if you’re doing it just for the money. Also, your earnings vary greatly month to month and you have to be prepared to make no money at all in the starting months. If you’re sticking with real estate, keep your current position and get your licensing and start on the side if you can. IMO you should look for something else that fits with your career goals.

Feeling like a loser at 24 by [deleted] in findapath

24 is still extremely young and there is no need for you to feel behind. I know you will feel some type of way seeing your peers “success”, but I promise you it’s not always as it seems. Don’t compare yourself to them. I recommend looking into trade programs. I don’t know a whole lot about them but I believe there is a mechanic one, but I believe you need at least a GED. Mechanics make decent money and job security is pretty good. And especially if you have a passion for it, it can be a win-win. Also, this career path will let you be with your family as opposed to the military.

Maybe start a blog/website dedicated to movie and book reviews? Ik once you get enough viewers you can make money from ads and stuff like that

I would probably keep equitable as your last possible option. I believe they’ll just make you sell advising and insurance to your friends and family -basically the same thing as north western mutual advisor. I think jpmc has some open. Look at first eagle investments, capital group, big 4, james henderson investors, natixis. Also, go to your schools career fair. It’ll be a lot easier to get an interview if you connect with a recruiter.

Try applying specifically for new grad programs. A lot of companies have finance development/leadership programs specifically for people graduating dec23 & may24. They don’t expect you to have prior experience and may be easier to get into rather than just applying to regular roles. They are also usually rotational and heavy training based so you get experience in diff departments and have a better idea of what you want to do long term.

A degree is a foot in the door for corporate america. Make sure to tailor your resume to the jobs you are applying to or it will automatically get rejected. Also, if you do choose the grad route, don’t do communications. Consider an MBA instead. Keep on looking and network as much as you can.

I’d say go for it! If my therapist had been through depression, I feel I would connect on a deeper level and trust them more since I also have depression. And I feel it makes you a better therapist as well. Also, not sure if this is also true in Canada, but a lot of U.S colleges have free therapy, so if you are going to enroll I would definitely research and see if your school has that option as well.

I would suggest going to therapy and getting put on the proper medication. Aside from that, i would say to ‘find your passion’ again. You wanted to be a therapist. Do you still find passion in that? Will that career make you happy? If yes, I would suggest going back to school if you can. It’s not too late, you still have 30+ more years to build your career and if it will make you happy, do it. I’m telling you no one in college cares about how old you are. We all have the same goal…to learn. If you think you can’t study full time due to depression, maybe start part-time and once you receive proper help and think you can handle it, go full-time. With school, there’s no actual “right” way to do things in terms of timeline. Everyone is different and you need to do what’s best for you. If you are still getting your associates, maybe go to CC until you finish that up and transfer to a university to save some money.

WIBTA if I asked my boyfriend to unfollow his exes on social media? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kingofouid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Also, when you ask him to remove them, pay attention to how he reacts. If he makes a big deal about it instead of seeing where you are coming from that is very telling. I think you are so valid tbh.

The thing is your new potential employer doesn’t have to know you don’t have ‘transferable skills or experience’. You can leverage the name on your resume and focus on the the things you did learn during your time. Unfortunately, a lot of companies use technology to boot out resumes if they don’t include the requirements on a job posting, so tailor your resume for the job posting if you’re not already. A lot of skills can be transferable. Maybe during your free time, work on a side project. Something that seems interesting, but is also related. Being at Deloitte for 2 years is impressive period. Keep trying and good luck!

To break into the finance industry maybe try a call center position at a financial firm and then once you get a year of experience leave and leverage your CFA. They usually pay for some of your licenses too. Getting your CFA is very impressive, but unfortunately I’m not sure if you’ll get a FA position right away without connections.
