I am currently an Accountant at the top of my earning potential with the company I work for now. I am making $60k/yr salary and considering a career change into insurance.
I take my Life, Health and Variable Annuities exam with the state this month and am confident I'll pass. Whether or not I pursue this career change, it was good to study these and learn more.
I realize I need experience to determine if the career change is one in which I'll enjoy or even succeed at and that I'll need to be a captive agent until I learn more. I figure I can always fall back to accounting again although not likely at the same wage if starting anew.
My question is regarding the risk of a solid $60k/yr salary in exchange for a commission based wage. Since you're the best at evaluating risk, what do you think?
