Working in the
car insurance
industry is a great career. Almost* everyone who drives needs insurance, so you will find no shortage of job opportunities.
If you’re thinking about starting a career in insurance, start by working toward your license. To become an insurance agent in
Rhode Island
, you need to:
  • Take 24 hours of prelicensing education
  • Take and pass the licensing exam
  • Pay for a background check
  • Pay the application fee and apply for a license
If the state approves your license, you can legally sell insurance.
Since the fees for licenses are $125, you may want to consider looking for an insurance company that will pay for your licensure. To find out which companies in your area may be offering that incentive, check job boards. Typically, you can find this perk in job descriptions for sales and customer service positions.
