I went to a charity event last night with Enterprise rent a car and I was the only indy among 8 other captives from various companies atour table. They all had many questions for me and we had a good time,( if that is possiable with borning agents like us) We were all pretty new to the business with my 4 years being the seasoned vet, They wanted to know about income.

Career advice

Hi, i am a teacher, over 40, thinking of a career in insurance. Do you think they'll appreciate my experience and give me a shot? I know teachers do a lot of talking, explaining, analyzing, planning and a kind of "selling" of informatio to students, and also to parents and other teachers. Would i do better to look into claims adjusting or sales? Any advice appreciated.

In this bad economy, I've been downsized. I'm a marketing communications veteran with 17 years experience but will be out of work in 2 weeks.

At the gym a friend who is an agent told me I really should consider insurance as it is recession proof. So here I am, doing my due diligence.

I think I could do well in the field--I know sales, I know targeting prospect needs, my career has been built on finding that nuance and building the message around it.
