I am considering getting this license. Will I be able to find a job now? Are these jobs commission only?

You'd need to pursue a course and then sit for the tests. There are 2 kinds of agents- one who'd work under a carrier as a captive agent and the other who'd work independently.

worked for insurance carrier, as a captive agent left the full time in end of 2005 making 105 K . I left the full time position due to personal family matters. I have recently accepted a position for a new Insurance Agency and have added the P & C with commercial licence to my exsisting general lines life and health. I have been an insurance agent since 2003. I worked hard and was greatly rewarded. My new employer has just opened the doors for business. He is wanting for me to get paid as a csr and work as a full time insuance agent for 25k a year. What license does a csr have to obtain and what are the duties. Confused in texas.

Do most people that just got their license get leads and from where? I am just starting out and need some help. I have a 215 health, life and annuity license in Florida.

The truthful answer to this question is not nearly as much as many would have you believe.

what if you have no experience? For example, I have a friend and she is about 20 years of age and she told me she is making 1500 dollars a week, she has no experience and no education but a GED. I have a double masters and I'm not making that kind of money. Is she being honest? Please reply with an answer on rickeym_dogg@hotmail.com Embarassed

Hello Rick, I'm sure that most of the "old-timers" on here will agree with me on this:

With our minds out of the proverbial gutter, it depends on who she's working for. For example, if she's working for Primerica, she isn't making that much money and literally hasn't a hope in hell of ever making that much money, but she's been thoroughly brainwashed and therefore believes she will - some day.

There are a number of other "cultish" companies out there who subject their agents to a type of "mental overload" sometimes as often as two or three times a week. Someone with a double Masters, like you, usually has a much firmer grip on reality than others who are, we'll say, "less sophisticated."

On the other hand, Bill Gates was a college dropout......so who really knows?

As with all commission based jobs, I think insurance agents pay depends on how hard the agent works. The harder an agent works, the better he is paid.
