The best way to begin the new year is to take a step toward a better career. Consider following in the footsteps of Gene Simmons, fire-breathing bass player for the rock group, Kiss. Not as a rocker but as an insurance professional. Insurance is a great field to enter with opportunities in the San Francisco and San Jose regions. Simmons recently said that his latest venture is selling insurance to wealthy individuals. If that’s not career help enough to enter the insurance field, consider the following five reasons to start working toward an insurance career:
1. Job Availability
Although many industries are diminishing or making cuts, there are plenty of different types of insurance jobs available. The tough economy makes people understand the importance of obtaining insurance, so the demand for workers remains high. The need for more agents is expected to rise by 25 percent by the time 2018 arrives.
2. Wide Career Path
Fortunately, there are many avenues to choose from in this business. For example, a student may specialize in life insurance, auto insurance, sales, reinsurance, customer service or several other options.
