What jobs could I look into for furthering my insurance career? I am currently an agent team member and I feel like I’m busy but not challenged enough to stay content. I am KY licensed for P&C and L&H. I don’t want to open an agency. I make $13 an hour so pretty much anything would be better . I’ve been a licensed team member for 2 years and counting. I don’t currently receive any benefits but I NEED them. I do not have any college degrees. I prefer working for State Farm but am open to options

This is super helpful. Thank you for sharing this.

The Farm is great & has great incentives. Getting adjuster license is a great start & should you choose to solidify your career in insurance, aiming for the CPCU designation is great & that opens up access into other sectors with a bigger pay range than $13. Best of luck

You could likely get hired as a trainee at an insurance company. You'll make more money and the benefits are generally pretty great. Most states you'll need to be licensed, because rarely will you handle one state. The company would pay for that. I've been in claims for 33 years and love it. Best of luck to you!

Try to move to a bigger company, broker, carrier, etc - they will have benefits and more opportunities to move up. Look up the National Alliance website. They have designations that you can work toward and those will help you move up. I just got the CISR designation and it wasn’t too difficult. If you find yourself getting bored you could try moving to another area of the industry like claims, personal lines/commercial lines, high value, standard/non-standard, underwriting, etc.

I live in a very rural community. There are some cities about 2 hours away but they’re kind of sketchy I’ll have to look into it though

Currently an L4 entry level manager at Amazon after graduating last year. I’ve been in this position for about 6 months after taking it as an opportunity to internally move into corporate.

I’ve been peeking at internal openings lately and have been at a crossroad on whether or not it’d be more valuable to move “down” per say in title to an Analyst/Business Analyst position or apply to other “entry” level manager positions like a Program Manager.

Which ones have greater career prospects?
