The Wall Street Journal has declared that life insurance could become the next go-to occupation for new economic times.
According to the article “A Hot Job for Hard Times: The Life-Insurance Agent” by Leslie Scism, insurance companies are reaching out to badly burned real estate agents, mortgage brokers, bankers, and lawyers to offer them security and training in a growing field.
The article mentions that last year, New York Life Insurance Co. added 3,618 agents, while Northwestern Mutual Life Co. signed up 2,340.
However, it’s no get-rich-quick scheme.
