Is Life Insurance Agent A Good Career? 
That is a great question ! Depending upon what type of person you are , it can be very rewarding , or very frustrating . At times , it can be both . In order to succeed as an agent , you must be willing to work long hours ; work off an unsteady source of income -LRB- there is no paycheck weekly , your money is paid based off what you sell -RRB- ; be thick skinned ; and be a quick thinker . If you love people , can work without a structured steady flow of income , and are motivated to work hard , it can be a great career . If you are the type of person who needs a structured environment , and is bothered by rejection , this may not be the right career for you . If you would like to discuss this a little more , in private , please contact me , I 'd be happy to help . Thanks for asking !
