Most insurance companies do require a college degree. It does not have to be in anything specific, but you usually have to have one to be an adjuster.

However, some companies will hire folks with body shop experience to be appraisers. Generally these are folks who did body work or ran body shop and are hired to write estimates for the insurance company. If you have good shop experience, insurance companies do not usually require a 4 year degree to be an appraiser.

As far as being an adjuster goes - for me it's been a great job. It does require a lot of people skills, time management, organization, the ability to solve problems and think on your feet. It also depends on which company you work for. Some are better than others. I started out at one of the companies (who I will not name) that is known to be one of the worst in the industry to work for. I worked there for 2 years - and took my experience to another company that is much better to work for and plan to be here until I retire.

Generally, your larger companies are going to have more turn over and more openings. You can usually get on with one of them. If it turns out that you don't like it - it could be that it's not the job but the company that's the problem and you just keep your mouth shut, head down, do a good job and once you have a year or two of experience - move onto another company.

You need a license, but honestly, it's the worst job in the world.
You spend every day fighting over money with greedy, crooked, assh*les, and answering to ungrateful insurance claims managers.
