Actually nothing really but it'd help if you got that license. The hardest part in insurance is just getting in but once you get in and do your 2 years, you can get any insurance job after that. I know so many people with different stories so there is no real way to do it right. I myself was a graphic design major, got a temp job at a company just answering phones and got hired by a manager doing tech stuff cause he liked me. But I would say a combination of being smart and just being a social person is your best bet in. Most managers that hire know they can teach these things on the job because who learns insurance in school anyways. By the end of it, they just want to hire the right person that won't make their job any harder. The license and degrees will get you the interview and social and confident personality will win you the job. Then there is even making sure you ask for the right salary because someone could get that job because they were cheaper. So alot of new comers get salaries based in the $40k-50k just to get their foot in but afterwards if you go to a competitor, you can make almost double that and in only 3-4 years time.
what other license do you need other than CPCU to do this, if any?
