The reality is that most insurance sales jobs are infinitely less concerned with your classes than they are in your warm market and/or ability to prospect. Carriers don't pay higher commissions to agents with degrees, they may higher commissions and more of them to agents that produce. If you want to be a part of the insurance industry and have your success in college more relevant to your career you may want to consider getting a job working for a carrier such as an actuary or adjuster, not as a producer.

Farmers, State Farm, Allstate - there's three right there.

I would touch any of these with a ten foot pole.

Consider Metlife, MM, NWML, NYL, and Guardian.
