I have been in insurance sales for 7 years. Not something was ever thinking I would do. I have a bachelors and masters in general psychology. My masters was more research based in hopes I would go back for my PhD one day. I decided to just go back for my MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics. How can I break out of the insurance sales role and into something else with insurance if all my experience has been sales. Should I just wait until I am done with my degree and then search after?

What type of insurance do you? What direction are you looking to go or what interest you?

I am currently licensed in P&C in all 50 states. I am looking for more of behind scenes inner workings of insurance. It seems like for my company they want someone with a particular degree already or several years already doing that type of working and been finding the same in other companies.

How can I translate my insurance knowledge from sales to get a chance in those other roles? Or what roles should I be looking for?

You can jump in to commercial account management, associate underwriting, auditing, insurance pricing, product specialist, territory sales manager. There are a ton of roles you can transition over to. Just look some of them up and find which aligns with most with your current role and degrees your obtaining.
