Mid-20s, no degree. Is pivoting to insurance actually a good long-term move?

I’m in my mid-20s with no college degree, currently working as a delivery driver. I’ve hit a wall and need a career with a higher income ceiling and better stability.
I’m looking into the insurance industry—specifically Claims Adjusting or Sales/Agent—since it doesn't require a degree. Before I start studying for licenses, I'd love an honest reality check from people in the field:

  1. Is this actually a good move? Does the industry still offer the stability and income potential it’s known for?
  2. Claims vs. Sales: What are the pros, cons, and day-to-day stress levels of each?
  3. Burnout: What is the turnover rate like, and is it worth the jump?
    Any insight on what the grind is actually like would be awesome. Thanks!
