Insurance Agent?! Should I?

[Brian Stone]

I have been in the learning stage of Real Estate Investing for awhile now. In my life I have not been able to pin point what I wanted to do with my life. I have tried many different avenues. At one point I wanted to see if truck driving was for me. I paid quite a bit of money to get my licence, and during my driving test it hit me hard that this not what I want to do. Now I have the fear of getting into anything because what if its not for me again.  Now that feeling is towards an opportunity that could get me closer to the real estate world. 

In my area of Hallstead, PA there is a very young insurance agency that is looking for someone that is willing to get their licence and help build his growing business. He deals in collision, life, and PROPERTY insurance. He represents Farmers Insurance, and its only two years. Another plus to this is that he used to be a real estate agent in Baltimore. So he knows the RE world, and I think I can learn a lot from him.

But here is the catch for me: I don't anything about the insurance world. I have no idea if I'll like doing it or not. I would feel absolutely terrible if I waste his time to come out with a licence but hate the insurance game. 

I'm hoping that there is at least one insurance agent on here that is also an Investor who reads this and has time to give me some advice or at least pick his brain. 

Should I do it?
