What Is The College Major To Study In Order To Be An Insurance Agent? 
That 's a great question ! Selling insurance does n't really require any particular field of study to help you be successful . While having a degree in a business or marketing related field can help , what you really need to be successful wo n't be learned behind a desk . To be successful you need to be empathetic , caring , and a good listener . You need to be able to put the needs of a client above your desire for commissions . You need to be able to foster and maintain relationships , and you need to be able to persuade someone that you are the answer to their problem . That comes from within , not a classroom . Thanks for asking !
