Do you need a college degree to be an insurance agent for a major company

You can have a degree for the School of Hard Knocks and do just as well or better. I know of a man that went to the Dean of the College and asked "Do I really need to continue?" He was already making about 10 times more than the Dean.....so, they came to terms that he MUST be doing SOMETHING right - with or WITHOUT a college degree.
Just depends on how much DRIVE you have. You can get all of the product knowledge and sales training OUTSIDE the confines of a college.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

Farmers grants a coupon to college graduates? I had no theory. besides. listed decrease than are your solutions: a million. They connect it to your application record, and stick to the low fee. 2. No. 3. I haven't any theory - i've got in no way heard of an coverage business enterprise offering a coupon to college graduates. i could ask the agent, how lots is the low fee? 4. No. the sole time they had be sure something like that, is that if that's fabric to a great declare, and that they have faith fraud. something like a 'sturdy student low fee' or college grad low fee will no longer be fabric sufficient to count number. IMO.

No, you don't need a degree to be a commissioned, sales only kinda guy. Yes, you pretty much need a degree to get a SALARIED position with a company.

It would be a huge asset.
Getting a degree means you are used to doing quaiity work, being thorough and being able to pay attention to details. Trust me,your clients would have a great deal more confindence in you if you did have that degree.

depends if you want to work for someone elses agency, or your own.
if you work for someone else, i dont see why you would NEED a degree at all.
but if you plan to own your agency, getting appointed with other companies might post a small challange at first, but once you have a few in good standing, shouldnt be a major problem.

No, you do not need a degree.
You need:
An insurance license
A good work ethic
Good with people
Decent phone skills
Thats all.
