One of the best ways to learn more about this career is to talk with a loan processor. Ask your business teacher and school counselor for help arranging interviews. Once you set up an interview, ask the following questions: What classes in high school and college should I take to prepare for this career? What do you like most and least about your career? What’s the best way to break into the field? What is the employment outlook for loan processors?
