I'll try: The industry expects from us to be knowledgeable in a field where is a large ocean of knowledge needed. The industry pays us cents in a dollars sold. We sale to our clients promises which should be kept from someone else (insurance companies). We don't sale printers, neither windows installation... we sale a promise. We should have our believe in well kept promises in case to stay in our positions and especially build a career around it.I am curious. How is this a "different animal"? Your advice is great, I just don't understand; and want to explore your answer.

Our knowledge and practice makes this process satisfying because we also see how people need us at their hard times. When we reach this point (of good experience and knowledge), our consultative business approach eliminates the selling practice and makes us insurance professionals. All this takes 10 good years of hard work and learning.
Today's days people change their jobs every 3-4 years, they want to be paid now, not after 1 year or 10 years of hard work. In insurance independent practice it doesn't work this way. And the industry, said in general, will pay these efforts after long years of proving yourself.
Don't take me wrong: there are thousands of insurance agents who will never wet their feet deeper, than selling a car and home insurance. They'll be craftsmen in their area, and never will even bother for more. But they also need years of work before reaching a good establishment.
Long story short: this industry needs people with passion and patience for it.
