I'm Graduating College Soon. Should I Consider A Career As An Insurance Agent? 
Having been in the business for 30 years I would say yes , with certain caveats . Do not expect an easy job ! A career in insurance can be frustrating and stressful at times . Do not try to start out on your own . Find a good organization that can provide training . You will need that training and help . Be prepared for long hours , a lot of phone calls , and marketing expenses . Many agents fail because they do not approach this as a business . This is actually more of a marketing job than a sales job . You have to learn to market yourself . If you do that the sales part is easy . Find a market you like and stick to it , become a professional . Do n't expect a quick buck ! As with any business it takes time to develop a good consistent income . Insurance is a great career but you have to be the type of person who is willing to stick it out when times get rough and put in a good honest day 's work .
