Get Your Licensing Costs Back With Word & Brown’s New Broker Scholarship Program

 

The past decade has been challenging for new college graduates and those looking to change careers. You may know from your own experience that finding a good job without much work experience can be difficult. Forbes reported in December 2016 that the millennial unemployment rate was 12.8 percent, as compared to a national average of less than five percent. But one job that offers outstanding rewards – and doesn’t require a lot of prior work experience – is health insurance sales.

Being a health insurance broker offers you some valuable perks: 1) you get to work independently and set your own schedule; 2) you are able to help others find the right health insurance plan to match their individual or family needs; and 3) you have the ability to make a really good income. (Click here to use our Salary Calculator to find out just what you can earn.)

Of course, if you want to become a health insurance broker, you are required to first earn a license. In California and Nevada, before you take your license exam, you need to do some required pre-license training. (Click here for a related article on pre-exam training and preparation.)
