Is it possible to be both a student and an insurance agent?
Asked by ms.jackson...
Right now I'm taking a break from school, trying to figure out what i want to do, but I do know the importance having a degree will have in the long run, so I want to continue that. While on my break from school, I have considered every option including the military, which I realized would not allow me to do what I love to do, and really would only allow me to do what they would love for me to do! Now I love sales and I love working with people, so I thought insurance would be a great way, and I think I have found a pretty decent company, with a great lead program, If i took morning classes, do you think it would be possible to do both?

Best Answer:
That depends on what kind of insurance, and who your target market is. It will be tougher if you're depending on people coming into a storefront or you will be required during business hours, less difficult if you're able to meet with prospects during off-hours. But insurance sales is a REALLY tough racket and really is tough to do part time. It can be very lucrative, but I think you'll find that if you are successful in it, the business needs to be a lifestyle choice, not a part time job.

yeah of course you can do it! But generally, people don`t want to continue their school again after they got money. I hope you aren`t one of them. School is important because you can gain many knowledge in it. Good Luck
