Hey everyone! This is my first post on glass door and I’m looking for some advice for my career path. I am in sales and look to pursue sales for my career. I’ve always wanted to do insurance especially but I have been offered a job to go ahead and work as an agent for insurance. I’m on the fence because I do not know if I should stay in school for 2 more years and finish my degree or if I should get a head start in the insurance world.

You should stay in school.

Go ahead and start in the insurance world. That experience will be better

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
