Those WITHOUT degrees:

What do you do for a living?

For financial reasons, I have to work fulltime while working towards my degree, and can now only take classes part time.

I have a great job in a medical office right now, but they don't need any more full time employees.

Where do you suggest I start?

I have more than enough credits under my belt for an associates degree, but never got one because I was in a program working towards a bachelors.

TIA

I did need to get licensed for the job which helped in pay raise and lucky for me the company sent me and paid for it.
Not always the case but some do.

I only have an AA, but administrative assistant jobs are great!!

I have great benefits, get complete respect, no problems and the pay is nice. But I think you would have to come into the city to make it worth your while.

If you go on monsterjobs.com there is a way to narrow down the fields to just insurance

Well, I know my company is always looking for postions. I cant speak on behalf of who will send to get licensed. Sometimes they can make u go on ur own. Depends on the office/boss.
Worth looking into.

As far as I know, MONEY MANAGEMENT is where the money is. (Brokerage firms, major --non commerial--banks, global investment companies...Things like that.)

I see. I was sort of just quoting you and adding my own thought that I was planning on writing. But I see what you're saying.

Also, I think that money is in Manhattan period. (Whatever field it is...) Seperate note, maybe...?
