Can you not translate your insurance background into doing underwriting, claims handling, etc? Are you willing to relocate?
While I'm all for continuing or furthering your education, I would suggest that you do so in a productive manner. (unless of course you are independently wealthy and going back to school is just "something to do"!   ) |
Ditto. I would have a plan as to exactly what you are planning on doing with that Masters first. A Masters in English would be fun, but it will probably only get you a gig teaching HS English. If you wanted to teach at the collegiate level you would most likely have to have a PhD. It's a very hard field to get into as well. I like what Marilynk said about getting into the health field. . .maybe a Masters in Business Admin would fit you better and be more beneficial.
I have also considered going back and getting another undergrad degree. . .nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy. . .are all good fields to get into right now. Just something to think about.
