Okay so to begin, I am new to the forums, but have spent weeks reading in them and finally decided that it's time to get a plan in motion.
First off, I live in a small town in south MS, and I am licensed in life & health and P&C. I do not currently work in insurance. I work doing manual labor around 70 hours a week for close to minimum wage. I am 22 years old. I do not know very much about the insurance industry, just enough to get licensed basically. I got licensed with the intent to do something with them (obviously, it costed over a weeks paycheck to do so) but I don't know where to start. I don't really like the idea of working a 9-5 sitting in an office with a cap on my earning potential. I have been really looking into becoming a final expense agent primarily and am looking for ideas on how to start the correct way. Captive or non? Or is selling final expense not a good way to start? I want to devote myself to whatever I do full time. So any advice would be great for a newbie that is too scared to take the risk to jump in full force and try to chase a career I feel I would really enjoy!
Thanks for the responses, and I hope that I can continue to learn and be apart of these forums for many years to come!
