If I may ask another question, if I wanted to focus more on the investment side, and let's for a moment pull EDJ out of the mix, is there another firm I should consider?  Is anyone else hiring career changers at this time?

[/quote] Not in the numbers EJ hires. But everyone is hiring the right person. You just need to find a way to prove you are that person. Pitch yourself the way you would anything else and don't take no for an answer. It is up to you.

I would keep looking very hard at Edward Jones.

With the BEST series 7 training in the industry, and the HIGHest passing rate for the test, and getting paid to study.....go with Edward Jones.

Also, anyone else on the Insurance side I should consider as well?  By that I mean with good sales training and some salary to start.

Ice, are you affilated with AXA? From what I understand alot of AXA rep’s have large books generated from 403(b) business.  You mentioned something along the lines of that earlier in the thread. I’m just curious because I interviewed their a couple months back and have a friend there. Just curious to see what you think.

O ic. As for AXA, I’m not their. That place is a joke. I’m at the 2nd most hated firm here, Eddie Jones.

You might want to check out MSSB.  I just got an offer from them.

I’m at a loss for wanting to focus on insurance. I don’t know if you’ve got a trail over 100K in the last 12, but …



You can look at Tradepmr, consider Cantella, and if you’re over 100K, triad-advisors.com.
