career change from mortgages officer to something stable?

February 8th, 2010

My husband is a loan officer with a mortgage broker office. He works only on commission. This office started about 18 months ago and no benefits of any kind. Just commission on the closings of each loan. The market in my area is horrible. Houses are not being sold, there are tons of foreclosures, banks got lots stricter with loans so all his pending deals have been falling through in the past three months. We are surviving on my teacher salary alone. What would be a good career move for him? I would want for him to have something stable with a fixed salary, maybe bonuses, but definitely a salary and health benefits. Would going to a temp agency be the way to go? What financial/career counseling do you have to offer? THanks!
