Best Answer

Most of the people who enter the business will fail. There is no salary though some companies will subsidize agents for a short period of time. If one does make it, the pay depends on many factors. On average, after 20 years, my observations are those that stick around make $70,000-150,000 per year. I have been fortunate and stay at the higher end of that, however I have seen countless people try and fail. My advise is if you have a PASSION for the power of insurance products and the benefits they bring, like helping people and are VERY honest, this is a great high paying career. Join NAIFA asap if you are serious about making it.
