Why Insurance?
Insurance is one of the rare industries where you can apply your education, experience, skills, and passions to a wide range of careers. There's no one-size-fits-all career path; you chart your own professional growth.
Insurance is everywhere. It's in your home, your business, your car, your neighborhood, even your health. Wherever people have things they want to protect, they'll need the insurance professionals that make it happen.
The industry is growing. The insurance industry employs over 2.3 million people in the U.S., and growth in insurance jobs is above average – 9% per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Insurance will create over 400,000 new jobs by 2020. There's tremendous potential for growth and professional development.
Insurance helps people and businesses. Insurance fuels progress; it provides a safety net for entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses and take risks to develop new products and processes. It allows businesses to grow, knowing that they're protected against risk. And, as an industry, insurance does far more than issue claims checks. Insurance companies and their employees donate time, money and our support to a variety of charitable causes to make a very real difference in people's lives.
