My question is, is it worth it? Is it smarter and more lucrative to just go out on my own once I feel confident that all my training's complete and I can't get anything else information-wise from these people? How much does one make as a captive agent opening up his own shop as a manager or as a unit manager within a location?[/quote]
It would be wiser to perform the job that best matches your character, life purpose and family situation.
In a nutshell:
If you love meeting and serving people: Do the independant agent thing.
If you love being part of a team and like leadership: Do the managment thing.
My take is at the end of the day you need to be satisfied with your work and not so much the money.
I am willing to bet that through the "Law of Reciprocity" the amount of money you make will be proportionate & satisfying according to the degree of passion you put into your work. At least in this industry.
Cheers Matie,
