I'm a licensed Life & Health Agent as well as Property & Casualty...and I do like it so far.
I've been doing it for 2 years now and while I'm not getting rich (ha!), I can definitely see my hard work paying off and am making plans for mu future in the industry.
Pros: set your own schedule (if you're self-employed), renewals start building, clean work environment
Cons: paperwork, having to talk to people aaaaall day long, people get mad at you, etc.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now. It's not easy to get started by any means, and I'm thankful that I don't have to be the primary breadwinner at home! But I've seen what people make after 5, 10, and 15 years and it's def. worth it. If you're self-employed you can set your own schedule. I think that's nice especially for a woman, if you have kids or are planning on it.
If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me =)
