What you need to know about the Insurance Industry:

Jobs within the insurance industry are extremely diverse but are connected by the fact that they all involve the primary goal of helping individuals and businesses manage risk to protect themselves from loss. Many young professionals may initially dismiss the idea of a career in insurance due to the perception that most jobs involve sales. While the industry offers a variety of sales opportunities, a majority of careers in insurance do not pertain to sales at all.
