Jeremy,
Which way to go? Good Question. Not 100% sure right now which path I will take. I am attacking this on two fronts simultaneously until I determine which way is best.
One front, I am pursuing my own Independent Agency and getting all the necessary paperwork, education and misc. together. This is my first choice and where my true passion lies. Owning my own independent agency is why I pursued insurance in the first place.
Second front, get some experience in the insurance industry then go Independent. I have a few applications out and if it seems like a good fit I will work no more than one year for some company before venturing out on my own.
At this point in my life, I'm far too autonomous to work for someone else and I learned I can't be happy reporting to someone else. I'm a Type "A" personality and prefer to do things my way. I'm very excited about my new career and the possibilities the insurance industry offers. I don't know where I will be in 5 or 10 years but, wherever this takes me, I'm going to enjoy the ride.  - Hass |

Hey everyone -
Hass it sounds like we're in the same place - except at opposite ends of the metro 
I took the Principles class this weekend - have one Fri nite to go then the Life/Health/Accident class - then ----- THE TEST!  (then the P/C side)
Unlike Hass - my whole class (around 60-65) stuck it out. But, I swear 3/4 of the room was from Primerica! What's the skinny on THAT?
There's a whole lot to absorb. Yesterday was a bit brutal - the P/C side of it but all in all it was a very good class. Now I have to go see if I remember any of it.
Hass -did you buy any of the CDs and, if so, did they help? I got the life/health/accident one and am hoping it'll be worth it!

Charm,
Who are you with? Not sure, but Primerica seems a little Amway-ish to me. We had about 6 of them in my class. I bought the Life, Health & Accident CD and I believe it helped. I studied a total of 20 hours outside of class for the exam and did fine. My next class is the LTC class which I will pursue in a few months. Someday, I will go back and get my P & C License, but right now I want to focus on Life, Accident & Health.
I just printed off my license today from the state website and am starting the process of getting appointments with Insurance Companies, Purchasing E & O insurance, starting a website and looking into leads along with a thousand other things. I hope to be up and running with my own agency within the next 30-45 days. |

Oh no no no - no interest in Primerica. I just thought it was interesting that there were that many! I haven't decided where to land as of yet. Right now I'm just concentrating on getting licensed.
I do have a Farmer's office who has been pursuing me, but to be honest I was leaning toward independent. After taking the class I'm 95% sure that's the way I want to go. I, too, want to focus on LTC, Life, Health, accident, annuties - possibly. I also am planning on getting my P/C a bit farther down the road.
Congratulations on the pass by the way! |
