An Insurance Career for You

Are you interested in a career in an industry with a history of steady employment and above average wages? Do you like challenges, serving people, and the opportunity to utilize tools of ever changing technology?

Let's Start with the Basics

Insurance means you do not face an unknown and uncertain future alone. Simply put insurance is just an organization where those who suffered a covered loss are helped by the many that did not have a loss. It is people helping people in a time of need.

Specifically, insurance provides protection against financial losses resulting from a variety of situations. By purchasing insurance policies, individuals and businesses can receive reimbursement for losses due to car accidents, theft of property, and fire and storm damage; medical expenses; and loss of income due to disability or death.

In 2006, the insurance industry had about 2.3 million wage and salary jobs. Insurance carriers accounted for 62 percent of jobs, while insurance agencies, brokerages, and providers of other insurance-related services accounted for 38 percent of jobs.

Many positions in the insurance industry require special licenses and continuing education. That is where Learninsurance comes in. We can help you get and keep the required licenses. Here are several of the most asked about positions in the insurance business and what is needed to get started.
