Becoming a life and health insurance agent?

salomex86 asked:


I am thinking about getting into insurance selling business. I live in the state of michigan
I also have alot of questions such as:

after I get my license and start working what can I expect? Is it competitive like the Real estate business?
Is it strictly commision based?
I am 21 female with a very friendly, easy going personality.
Will that be a good or bad contribution to the job?
Does the money usually make all your effors worth it?
The company I contacted told me to call kaplan financial to get licensed. Kaplan said that I would need to pay around 200 something to take the classes. I am a little apprehensive, because I see alot of places that are capitalizing on the desperate need of people to find jobs.

I cant think of anything more at the moment but if there is anything that a working professional can tell me more about this field I would really appreciate it.

I also plan on getting my notary and real estate as well as loan agent license after this.

    Check out other answers on this topic from the past. It’s a great business if you make it, but very few make it.

    Good luck

    What state are you in? I used Kaplan for my series 6 and 63 and was very happy with the course.
