Advancements opportunities are limited to managerial positions unless the underwriter pursues advanced education. Those who earn bachelor’s degrees can become mortgage bankers. Some underwriters choose to develop advanced skills in specialized lending systems including those used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Federal Housing Administration’s loan programs. These skills translate into higher earnings and an increased chance of being promoted.
