Hi everyone! I am thinking about getting into the life insurance industry and i would like a little feed back, please.
Here's my info/situation. I am 25 and I have a 2,400 mortgage and bills to pay. I lost my job and with no education i cannot find a job that can pay me 3,400+ a month.
Bankers Life hired me the other day. I heard a lot of promises from them saying that if i work, it is very possible to make that and even more. i will literally be going all in by taking this job. If i fail at this then i will see myself very deep in a financial crisis.
They say all i need to do is take some 2-15 classes to pass the florida state test. then they will help me learn and get started by providing training and going to make sales with experienced agents. and blah blah blah with all the promises.
my question is... is this worth going all in? i know florida is retirement capital, i live in miami. i know there will be customers. but then again, with the economical situation in this country, is now the right time to jump into this industry?
im just looking for some guidance, im terrified but i really feel this job is my only way out for now. and i see there is a lot of possibility to move up in the industry.
please, any info will be greatly appreciated. thank you all for your time.
