With U.S. home sales at a 10-year low, many mortgage industry professionals are looking to switch careers, many of them seeking jobs in fields that, like theirs, place a high priority on customer service.

That is why they and other professionals are turning to automotive sales, a business that lets them shift careers without totally shifting gears. Some of them are liking what they find, according to The Next Solutions Inc., providers of software that facilitates prospective employee-employer match-ups.

“I now think of selling cars as a profession I can manage and grow with, not just a job until I find another,” says a veteran sales representative.
