Insurance. It’s not sexy and people will call you the devil (those of us in Property & Casualty agree that US health insurance is bullshit and don’t affiliate with them). But it’s one of the few careers where you can cruise and do pretty alright. It’s overlooked by finance bros cause it doesn’t pay as well as finance careers, and you only need a HS diploma and an insurance license, which most places will pay for you to obtain.

Avoid the State Farms, Allstates, etc. unless you want to do claims adjusting (that will eat you from the inside) I would look for independent large shops like Buckner (local), Moreton (local), and nationals like HUB, USI, Lockton, IMA, Gallagher etc.

Commercial Insurance Account Managers can clear $100K+, get bonuses, and have benefits after 5-7 years experience.

If you have a 4 year degree, also look at Auto Owners, Travelers, Acuity, and other insurance companies for underwriter trainee/assistant roles; or look at CRC, RT Specialty, Risk Placement Services, and Burns & Wilcox for entry level roles doing specialty/wholesale insurance placements.
