Then there's the captive part. So you probably won't see as much money. Then, when you do go independent, you'll most likely have to leave it all behind.
Of course, if you wanted to enter into the senior market, you could always head over to MedicareTraining101.com and get your training that way. With your past experiences I think you would have a good shot at going independent off the bat.
At the very least, it would give you a step up even if you were going captive.

Thanks yall for the feedback. While doing some light research, I found some local agencies with multiple lines and carriers. I'm going to pursue a couple informational interviews with those. That would seem a better way to start.

Rick exaggerates. I did about half that...
OBAMACARE- employers with 50 or more employees that can't afford to offer health insurance will be fined $2000 per employee, any over 30 employees, if only ONE of the 50 take a tax credit because they had to get their own coverage.
How many people will be laid off to get to 49 total employees? Sounds like a great plan doesn't it?

Anyway, this is my intro. Hello!
I've made the decision and fully expect to be a licensed insurance professional in the next couple months. I'll start out 'captive' most likely with Physicians' Mutual (or Woodmen or Mutual of Omaha.) Going independent sounds great, but first things first.
A little about me. For the last ten years, I've worked politics from lowly field organizer to Head Honcho/Campaign Manager. That means door knocking and phone calls are my bread and butter. I'm always asking for time, votes, or money
In between campaigns I often worked as a waiter. Anyone want to add crab-meat to their steak for just $2 more? Yumm
In years past, I published a small newspaper (24page tabloid). I picked a great time to enter the print industry LOL. I published that for four years. Loved it, but there was no future.
Also served in the Nebraska Air Guard preceded by a year of active duty for training. Had an above top secret security clearance, and I just want you all to know that there are no aliens - NONE I tell you - at area 51.
Thanks for reading and if you have any advice for a complete newb, please share.
I need much help in this area. I just got my health care license and would love any advice you can give.
Aloha,
Mel
You'd have to get to a lot fewer than 49 employees. Obamacare also mandates that you add up all your part time workers' hours and divide by 120 and add that number to your total of "full time employees". Crafty little tyrant ain't he?

Yes, that's crafty counting. But even though employers with more than 50 FTE's (full-time equivelents) face the play or pay penalties, the health plan is only required for Full-Time employees working 30 or more hours per week. So, firing full-time EEs and hiring part-timers works.
