Insurance sales vs nursing

Published

Hi, I have posted before regarding concerns about me going into nursing, but just last week I got an interview to sell car insurance. Ok, here's my situation, since last year I was planning to go to nursing school but haven't had the chance to do it(work, got off track, etc.), and just this year I finally decided I was going to do it! As I said in other posts, my husband got laid off last year and is collecting unemployment and I got a part time job (we barely can make our payments with that). I met a nice guy(he sells insurance) in my part time job and told him I was looking for another job and he told me that his boss was looking to hire someone to sell insurance so he told me to go the next day for an interview with his boss, I didn't have the nerve to refuse (to tell the truth I don't really like sales and I don't know if I am going to like it), so I went to the interview and I have a high chance to get the job, but with some conditions: that in 4 months I have to get the license to sell and after that I have to work for him for a year. If I take this job I won't be able to go to nursing school as this is a full time job. Next week I will be expecting his call to tell me when to begin to work and also next week my CC school begins registration classes for the summer. Before this interview I was/am planning to take A&P I this summer to get my plan into going to nursing school started. I just asked a nice guy, member of allnurses who used to sell insurance and he practically told me that insurance sales is very unethical and I don't like that much. But what I am really debating is that I really WANT to go into nursing(a nurse friend told me that I would make a great nurse) but we also need a steady income to pay our bills and a mortgage(soon my husband's unemployment will run out and we don't know his chances of getting a job). AHH, this situation would be easier for me if my husband were working but he is struggling to find a job. Don't know what to do, any suggestions? I need to decide before this weekend :confused: Thanks :redbeathe

P.S. Sorry for the title I meant insurance sales or nursing...oopps
