IMPACT

Insurance truly is the business of helping people. Our society simply could not exist without it. Having a job in risk management and insurance allows you to make a difference in people’s lives every day and know that your work matters.

OPPORTUNITY

With older generations retiring, there are tons of opportunities for people entering the field, both for entry level and advanced positions. You don’t have to stress about finding that needle in the haystack — there will be a job for you in insurance.

GIVING BACK

Insurance is one of the most philanthropic career fields around, donating tens of millions of dollars to charities and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to charitable causes. You can make a difference not only in your daily work but also by joining in charitable giving and overall good works.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Did you know that risk management and insurance is the driving force behind meaningful changes that keep people and properties safer? Airbags in cars, building codes that minimize property damage in extreme weather events, workplace injury reduction tools – insurance helped make all these a reality.

COMPENSATION

Let’s get real. Salary is a big factor when it comes to choosing a career, and insurance doesn’t disappoint. It is consistently listed as one of the top-paying careers and provides some of the best benefits too.

STABILITY

Insurance is one of the few arenas that is not majorly impacted by the economy and those working in insurance can enjoy a comfortable level of stability. Plus, our society couldn’t function without insurance, making these jobs pretty darn secure.

ROOM TO GROW

With so many open positions and tons of roles with transferrable skills, there is almost always room to grow and advance within insurance. As those who currently work there may tell you, once you are in insurance, you are likely to stay because of these meaningful career opportunities.
