Pros
When I graduated college, I struggled to find a job in my field and with the student loan payments starting I decided to follow my grandfather into insurance. I like it more than I ever thought. I have to stay motivated, and sometimes I fail, but I am getting better at motivating myself. I love the freedom I have as an independent agent and I have quite a few mentors who are helping me to learn. Having the freedom to travel and do other things when I want to is invaluable. I may follow my grandfather and become a lifelong agent. If I remain an agent, I will stay at Family First Life. I am making more my first year out of college than I ever thought possible!
Cons
The money is not consistent. Some weeks you make a ton and others not so much! You need to learn to save at the time you make more for the leaner times.
