I have been approached about applying for the State Farm Approved Candidate program. There is an agency with about 1.4 million in premiums they need someone to take over. The recruiter mentioned a signing bonus as well as paid training.
Now, I am a smart person but completely ignorant about insurance, but was wondering what the general salary/commission is on this size book of business? I have a graduate degree unrelated to finance but truly enjoy talking about finance (I consider it a hobby). I am just over 30, married, no kids, and currently earn about 60K plus benefits in an unrelated, yet boring, job. Would it be worthwhile to pursue this or should I not waste my time? Can anyone give me simple numbers?
One thing about insurance that interests me is the ability to run for public office since I wouldn't have "set" hours.
Thanks a lot!
