First of all, what a wealth of knowledge this site is for the aspiring insurance agent. My question is basically, and I know that everyone on here seems to think poorly of AFLAC, but would it serve me well to go ahead and accept a job with them to get some practical sales experience? I currently have none. Since they will hire anyone that breathes, I figure I am a shoo-in, as I am currently breathing.
In the long-term, I would like to work in an agency such as Farm Bureau. This leads me into my next question. Can a person get hired in such an agency without taking on ownership of the agency? I have read a few posts that seem to lead one to believe this is the case – an agent signifies at least some amount of ownership. At some point, ownership would be great, but that would be years down the road.
And finally, how much would it help me if I got my property and casualty plus health and disability licensing? Would this give me a heads up? Thanks in advance!
