If you are a self-starting, thick skinned, positive thinker with ambition this is a good field to go into. You can make decent upfront commissions plus get renewals so it can be pretty profitable. Insurance also gives you business experience I use to sell for Mutual of Omaha and the experience was great. Downside is if you don't sell you don't get paid. You have to stay motivated and there's a lot of rejection. If you are with a multi-level or start-up company you have to watch your back, there's some thieves in this business.
