Help! My industry died
What industry can I get into that doesn’t curl up and die? I was in mortgage banking and then auto finance. Both industries have closed or laid off and now I wonder where I fit in.

Ann, you can go out and look for growing industries. Keep in mind that the industries you’re coming from were high-growth industries at one time.
The important thing to look at is your skill sets.
You have a great customer service skill set. You’ve got sales. You are good at connecting people with money. None of those things are going to go away.
If you define the value your bring an employer based on your skills, you will survive the rise and fall of industries. Â And that applies to everybody.

There are many opportunities to grow with the food industry. We recently started a company with my wife to build a universal organic brand. Organic food and non-food products are a major growth area. We are always looking for partners and talented individuals who can help us grow all over the world.
