I know this topic has been beaten to death, but here goes. I'm newly licensed in life health and accident in Louisiana and not quite sure which direction to go. Ideally I'd like to find a mentor in the New Orleans area, but my schedule may be difficult for an employer to work around. I'm a firefighter and work there about 9-10 days a month (24hr shifts). I do have quite a bit of time to devote to a second job, but putting in a normal 5 day work week isn't possible. The other option I'm aware of is an IMO or FMO, which seem to have more cons than pros from what I've read. that goes for all of the companies I've encountered anyway. Can anyone lead me in the right direction please: a reputable IMO with reasonable leads, proper training and guidance etc., Possibly a mentor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
