Career Change- Underwriting
Hi everyone,
I am looking to switch careers into the insurance world- specifically underwriting. I’m late 20s and have a masters degree in psychology. Did that for a few years and am now working for a business as their financial secretary. I’ve been at my current role for 2 and a half years.
I have several family members in the insurance business who own a small independent agency. Underwriting interests me for many reasons and I’m looking for some advice on how to get started. It seems many large carriers only hire once a year and I’ve missed the window?
I’m just in the early stages of thinking about this switch, ideally the end of this year or beginning of next I’d like to make a move. Any encouragement welcome.
