Do you have to work at an insurance company be qualify to get your license?
In a word, no. There are thousands of people who obtain
insurance salesperson's licenses that are never employed by
insurance companies. I am not employed by an insurance company - I
work for an insurance agent. In addition, I received my insurance
licenses (24 years ago) prior to securing a position. I live in the
state of Wisconsin. If you are interested in obtaining a license to
sell insurance, a good place to find out for sure is either with
your state's insurance regulatory department, or contact a
pre-licensing education school. They would know the requirements
for being able to obtain a license in your state.
