Hi Friends,
Trying to break into the PC MARKET after doing Life/Health PT for a few years...been doing life/health, and looking to expand into a "physical location" working along side of other people (tired of the lone wolf gig).---Was hoping for some constructive input on options. (Help me understand my options.)
In Fla, you can get 2 lic. types related to PC.
1. Is know as a 20.44 lic. which allows you to originate PERSONAL LINES only. You must work under an be appointed by GEN.AGT. This lic. Requires "60hrs" of schooling that can be done online.
2. You can also get a 2.20 lic. which is ALL LINES (personal & comm.) which allows you to originate both (not necessary to be appointed with a GEN.AGT, but i most certainly would do that BECAUSE i know little about the PC biz per.se). This lic. Requires 200hrs of IN CLASS TIME. That means, attending school in a class room setting.
QUESTION(S);
What's your opinion / suggestion(s) ?
thanks very much!

QUESTION(S);
- How difficult is it to get a job with an agency if you have a PERSONAL lines only lic.?
- I plan on bringing in my own business, so...why wouldn't "ANYONE" hire me?
- Would it pay to get the 220 over the 20-44 lic? (not sure it would since you have to get the experience FIRST before you rise to a INDY level anyway)
What's your opinion / suggestion(s) ?
thanks very much!
