Hello.
I've been lurking here for a few weeks and thought I should say hello. Before I ask my question(s) I would like to compliment you folks. You people are some of the friendliest, most knowledgable and most professional people that I've encountered! I used to have a less than favorable opinion of insurance agents. You have definitely changed my opinion. I mean that sincerely.
I have been working in the insurance industry for a specialty P&C company on the underwriting side for 10 years. Recently I was offered to join an agency. However, for my own reasons, my current passion is to get involved in the life/health insurance industry. My question(s) are:
1) Is there any reason NOT to be both a P&C agent and a Life/Health agent?
2) Are there health insurance companies out there that will take on new, inexperienced independent agents? (is it even a good idea for me to take this course given my lack of experience in the life/health field?)
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
