I work full-time in admin. I need more money though. I am a single mom with three kids and get very little support so I need ALOT of money. I have heard that sales is the way to go but I cant get a sales job becuase I have no experience. I work for a life insurance company and I think it is fairly easy to get a job as an agent without experience. I was just wondering if I can do it part-time on the side until I start seeing an income. I would also like to know If there are any downsides to it that I may not be aware of. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
If you are considering to work part-time as an insurance agent, give consideration to working with Primerica. Not only do the agents provide services as insurance agents but they also provide services as financial advisors. By this, I mean that as you are trained you learn about how money works- something very few of us learn- and how to manage and invest your money wisely. You can also get a securities license in order to sell mutual funds and roll over 401k's and other retirement savings. And you learn it in the best environment- as you work. There is a little schooling but you learn out in the real world.

I was an insurance agent in 1998, and it can be either very good, or very bad. It is a tough field and requires spending your own money at first. The first month is the hardest to pass. Honestly, I didn't pass much further than that, due to how poor I was starting out; then my male boss put the moves on me and I freaked out and quit. My advice is to be careful, b/c it's all about the money and people become very territorial over it. Good money if you can spend some to make some. Good Luck and Take Care
