Sell Insurance?

My husband and I are still talking about whether I should go on to get my state license for health, accident, and life insurance. I'm just so undecided. I have about 3-4 more months to decide before my certificates become void. The upside is that I could do it from home. I just don't know.

With the economy the way it is, things like life insurance seems like a luxury rather than a necessity (unlike home insurance would be that all homeowners are required to have with a mortgage) though my possible future boss says it is just the opposite. With things so rough right now, people are planning and buying life insurance now more than ever.

What to do, what to do eh? I'm so indecisive. Must be the Libra in me.

Career Choices - Mine is almost done!

Well, I finished another unit in my studies. I have a few more units to finish, then I want to do a thorough studying of all of my notes all over again, take the pre-exam for my certificate and then get my state test scheduled. This state test is supposed to be very difficult that most people don't pass it the first time but I am anxious to see what it is like. I hope to pass it the first time, however, if I don't, I'll have a better idea of what to look for the second time around.

So, what it is I am studying for? It's still a secret to most people online that I know because baggage from my husband's past gets a little intent on snooping (I must be really fascinating) so...well, you know how that goes. When I get my state license, I'll share. It's not futures trading or anything like that, but if it works out the way I hear it is supposed to, it will be a nice career for me to do from home so I have a good income plus am home for my kids. What more could I ask for?

Career as a Futures Broker

One field that I hear can be great to get into is trading stocks. I think my brother was going to do it at one point because a good friend of his had made a successful career out of it. I am not sure what happened with that, but he's not buying and selling stocks. I thought about doing it at one point but life happened (four kids, being a stay-at-home mommy).

If there are those out there reading this that are interested in a new career and learning about exchanges, charts, margins, expirations, commodities, and more, and want to become a futures broker, the opportunities are out there for you. You just have to go get them!
