Should i take a job in mortgage, home equity, and Insurance Services industry?

I was recently offered a job in this industry for a customer service representative for a Bank Of America. The requirement on top of assisting customers with their mortgage questions is to cross sell items that may suit their needs. I have experience in the customer service/sales industry, but in this economy today it might be a little bit harder to persuade customers to switch their plan especially in the mortgage area. The great thing about is its all inbound calls, so i don’t have to do any telemarketing but the downsize that i am worry about is what if i don’t make their sales quota? They are flexible with my school schedule i am a college student, but i also have my own place and a car note. I have a job doing security but the reason why i am leaving is because they are no benefits= no health insurance. If you were in my shoes what would you do?

At one time BofA offered the job you describe with a $28,000 salary. The exact same job paid $80,000 if you worked in the loan origination department and generated loans from realty agents and homeowners.

The customer service job answered the same questions but BofA provided all the calls. You were not responsible for making the phone ring. So take the job but talk to the other loan officers in the other departments. Switch over as soon as you can. The money is great.
