   Insurance is a good industry to switch into, and a good way to make a decent pay and build a career if you can stomach a desk job. I switched from marketing to insurance and then back again. The only requirements are typically licensing through your state’s DOI, dependent on the role you have. You do not need a college degree for the insurance industry. You can work as a customer service rep., independent agent, underwriter, claims, etc., or get involved in insure-tech.

   I was in retail from age 14 to age 32. I’d been saving and had a few months of expenses when I finally had enough and quit. I took a month, got my real estate license, and tried real estate sales. I hated that, but I got connected to a homeowners association management company looking for a license agent. It’s not perfect. Nothing is. But I’ve been here 7 years, and I have a normal schedule. I get to be there for my family. It’s definitely not my dream job, but I don’t miss retail at all.

   Moved from customer service, admin and tech support (for 12 years, pretty much all min wage) into software development, devops engineering and now tech leadership.

   No formal education past 14 and no qualifications.
   Spent hundreds of hours in self study whilst being a single dad to two daughters with mum out of the picture with YouTube and udemy, didn’t get any certificates and got a junior devops role, then my existing company doubled my wage and gave me a hybrid devops/dev role. Been working my way up over the last 8 years in a few different companies.

   Being autistic adhd helps I think and the years I spent working on my social skills in customer service.

   Happy to answer any questions you have.

   I hire devs and have hired career switchers in their 40s, it’s about skills, not meaningless pieces of paper (although those should represent skills you’ve acquired!)
