My New Job

I just got back home from my initial training. Sunday there was an ad for a walk-in interview to be done Tuesday. Little did I knew that Monday... my 'Saturday'... will be my last. On Tuesday, I attended and found out the company, American Association of Government and Private Personal, give people 10 year life insurance annuinties. It intrigued me enough that I signed on. What I like about walk-in interivews is that you learn a lot from the meeting and find out if your hired that night. Well, I got the call. Sent a quick e-mail to everyone I know online and prepared to make a trip to Quincy.

So far, that is what I don't like about this job. Quincy is a city roughly hour and a half to two hours west. I used to live there once (planning to do a mindwalk using it to do ruined nostalgia... if I ever!) so the trip over there wasn't too much of a problem... but to go back and forth several times?!?!? Thankfully I have relitives in Hannible, Missouri. Just 15 or so minutes away. I hope that future training days will be consecutive so I can do that again.

When I got there, I had only one word to say about my instructor: filthy rich. Besides living in an upscale neighboorhood a couple miles outside of Quincy, he has his own fishing pond. Oh, and ducks and geese, in the DOZENS. There were other people too, no more than 100 so miles away from Quincy (Springfield is a little more than 100), so Quincy is like a central hub for Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois; Quincy borders Missouri and a short drive from Iowa's border, the center of the 'tri-state' area.

The first day we got the basics and the first few steps of how we should operate among ourselves. We are independent empoyees. This person just trains us and we are our own boss. The second day we got a bit more into the opperation before spending the rest of the day on the test I need to take. All states license insurance agents, and I am going to take my test Tuesday and get my licence. That is expensive! Sum it all up, and I have to spend approximently $350 to the state. If I fail the test, I have to spend that portion of it ($106) again. Don't you see why I am a Libertarian?!?!? And that test will really bore you!

But if your interested in how the insurance work, I'll tell you if interested. For now I will just mention the basics. The client will agree to put in a small, managable amount per month, say, $50 - $100. The product, Freedomflex, uses the most option loaded and flexable system to accumulate tax differed money for whatever he or she wishes. It is classified as life insurance, and does work like life insurance, but can be used for little Johny's college fund, retirement, or just a financial vehical to save money. Tax deffered means none of it goes to taxes, although 10% might go to the government if your under 59 and a half. Find out more about that during future training.

Anyway, that is the jest of my trip. My head right now is woozy over the info-cramming and the long trip. I changed my mind on something. I still like to travel when able, but I don't want to do it alone! And none of those ducks wanted to come along either, or get a hug for that matter!
