I’m still in college and trying to figure out which direction to go in insurance, and I keep hearing different things about which products are actually the most profitable to sell. Some people say life insurance because of renewals, others swear by property and casualty, so now I’m just trying to understand what’s really true. For anyone already working in the field, which line has given you the best return for your time and effort?

If you go into an agency as a broker who is not captive then you can pretty much sell all of it. I disagree P&C is plummeting. I'm in commercial and making more than ever. I don't have the financial series licenses because I just don't have that math brain but I could if I wanted them.

Serious question:

As a Registered Nurse with 11 years sales experience, why am I constantly turned down for healthcare-related sales roles? Yet on the flip side, I've gotten tons of offers in industrial or engineering spaces.

I've worked PRN as a nurse while I've been in sales. All of my sales roles were engineering-based in mechanical tools or chemicals. I've sold into various industries (energy, O&G, aerospace, pharma, HI&I, water treatment, etc). Just looking to get back to my roots.
