risk management and insurance?

[swt_asian_soul]

is insurance a good profession to get into?

[Loose]

if you like stress and poor pay, yes

[swt_asian_soul]

but ever business related job pretty much has alot of stress. and i hear it pays good too

[hjr]

what is stressful about the job? i would like to find out...

Also, i know some sucessful people in the insurance industry, it seems they are doing ok, what is poor about the pay?

I spent a summer at Marsh Canada in their Risk Management group.. believe me, the stuff they do are not very stressful at all.

Also Risk Management doesn't necessarily have to involve insurance.. it can be handled by finance majors as well as part of their corporate strategy to save their company some extra cash or decide whether or not they should buy the 300 million dollar rig..

I think it'd be a good industry to get into.. I'm personally going into Risk Management myself, just not in the insurance sector.

I can gurantee you know my dad lol
hes the senior VP there.

well, used to be, hes at AON now.

In the Vancouver office.
I know a few of the guys here.

You can make VERY good money if you stick with it, lots of perks and benefits too.
Im debating going into that industry, my step mom is also in it, shes a director at Chubb insurance.

Chubb is one of the best companies to work for in north america, they pay above average, GREAT benefits, good working enviroment and lots of room for advancement.
Kicker is you MUST have a degree in something before they will even look at your resume.
