Well, Schutzee is not alone here (as he already knows). I started (founded?) an insurance agency in 1974. I basically spend my working hours selling insurance, mutual funds, and annuities products. It's much more interesting than it sounds and yes, I dislike insurance agents as much as most of you do.
I had a client in the office the other afternoon - explained that we were in similar professions as far as the public liking us - - he is a dentist!
