So I would like to become and insurance agent and eventually own an independent P&C agency. I currently work in sales in a separate industry.
I know I need my license and my question is would it be a logical for me to quit my current job get my license and then start my insurance job search or should I wait until I have an insurance job offer to quit my job and start the licensing process?
I ask this because I know the general advice is to never quit your job until you have the next one lined up but I have to think that in this case with education and licensing requirement maybe it would be OK. I have been told from one source it is much easier to get a job in insurance once you are licensed.
I am in my 20's recently out of school and living with my parents so I could easily afford a few months of not working while looking for a job.
