Better to stick to HR profession or become life insurance agent to earn lots of money?
Asked by cheryl_tanpc
My passion has always been in the field of Human Resources and I worked hard to get into this field and stay in it. However, I have been asked to join the life insurance business to build business income. While to prospect of more money is very attractive to quickly settle all my debts and provide for my family, it is not a field i feel comfortable with. I am able to talk to people from all backgrounds as long as i need not sell them anything. Please help.

Best Answer:
Life insurance is a very difficult field in which to get started. You will probably spend more money the first year than you'll make. Because of this 80% of the agents don't make it past the first year. Talk to an agent that's been at the company for at least a year and ask them how many agents have failed and how many have succeeded. Ask the successful agents what they did to become successful. Yes, you can probably make more money selling life insurance after you've paid your dues but if your passion is HR listen to your heart. You'll want to work on your household budget and see what can be cut.
