If you are doing it part time, it will be even worse.
I was absolutely at the top of my field when I was in manufacturing sales. Seriously, I may have been the best in the country. Certainly in the top 5. Now? No way. The competition is so very much tougher and better.
I really think that insurance is a career and not something to dabble in.
PM me if you want to talk.

LWJ spot on, highly competitive cut throat business where only the best thrive. I am also in the insurance industry and specialize in commercial insurance, Asset protection, risk management. I own my own agency with seven licensed agents.
Tell your friend to get a Real Estate License ( I am also a RE Broker) or an insurance adjusters license both are relatively large sums per transaction fast with little knowledge. What LWJ and I do is a long term perpetual profit center best suited to a young person to grow into. building a career. Ten years in you have a good perpetual income.
