I'm proposed to work at this work but I'm not sure that's good to sell insurences to people from the point of morality. It's about life insurance. And I have totaly different education which doesn't involve sells. What do you think? Should I take the job or find other more appropriate? What's your attitude towards this profession? Is it a good one or not?
Thank you,
Maria

Insurance (the theory) is one of the reasons countries become 'first world'. It allows companies to spread the risk to allow them the ability to create goods and services. Life insurance helps you protect your families ability to continue with their current lifestyle without you.
However, if you are questioning the morality of insurance, you might be better off finding something else to sell. Your heart won't be in it, and the customers will know.

Selling insurance is a very noble job. It is tough initially. Once you understand the true benefits then you can sell with no worry.
Everyone need insurance, either they purchased from you or they are "self insured". Self insured means if anything happen to someone who dun buy any insurance he/she and their family members will need to bear the losses.
Many people already understand the true meaning of insurance and what insurance can do.
To be an agent you need to be
1. persistent
2. accept the fact that not everyone will buy from you
3. dun get discourage easily
4. like to meet new people and build rapport with them
5. you are doing a great job by making more people to undertand insurance

You never know until you try. If you are an outgoing and talkative this could be a good profession for you. It may take a lot of motivation in the begining but it always does in sales. The main thing to remember is that you need to be yourself. Try not to be nervous and stay as calm as possible. Explain the paperwork to the best of your ability. People can respect agents who are honest, friendly, sincere and trustworthy. You can make lots of friends. Treat everyone as a best friend.

It has nothing to do with insurance. if you are not into sales, then selling anything will be bad for you.

My agent is my hired gun, when I have to deal with insurance matters.
I don't deal with these matters, I call my agent and she takes care of things.

Insurance agents are legalized "bookies"
Insurance is just one big scam.
You place bets (pay premiums) betting that something bad will happen... to yourself.
You lose either way.
