No, you do not need a college degree to get into the insurance business. She would need to have a company sponsor her, take the appropriate classes, get registered with her state, pass the proper tests, and get a producer's license.

Nope, but she does need to understand what is involved not only with owning her own company, but with the insurance market.
I do not have a degree and I own a construction company. Education can be obtained in many different ways. I have some college business classes and the rest is hands on. Insurance can be a difficult market. She really needs to be sure she understands what this will take.
My advise is to talk to other agents about how they started in the business.

It depends on the state. But a college degree is a good idea.

No, a degree isn't required. My business partner doesn't have a degree. Bill Gates doesn't have a degree.
