Ask the fat jerk how he started part time then ended up become full time.
Actually I think he is a part time agent, part time lead vendor, part time agent mentor now.
Wow! What a great contribution to the discussion. You really had something to add Hidey..
I was recently laid off from a salaried position in the workforce where I was making about 45K annually.
I have a strong desire to work for myself as an entrepreneur and independent agent without clocking in and working a 9-5, so I am going to utilize my 2-15 and start practicing as an agent.
That being said, I do have a mortgage to pay and do not underestimate the work that will go into establishing consistent business. In the meantime, I'm thinking of getting a part-time job where I can work evenings. I'm 25 years old with a Bachelors Degree in Business Management, and all of my post-secondary experience has been in B2B sales. While I begin my insurance career, I'm open to any suggestions (hotels/hospitality, warehouse work) -- can anyone relate to my situation and recommend jobs I may want to look for to work part time while I utilize the first portion of my day to practice insurance?
You might be better off to concentrate on finding a full time job and working part time in the insurance business until you get established and have some money saved up and some renewal or pay through income flowing. Once you find a job that will pay the bills and keep the pressure off, then you can pick the insurance market that will allow you to work around your job schedule. Wish you great success.
