I am licensed in Colorado to sell life insurance. Shoot me now- lol Let me also say that- I have not sold any insurance as of yet.
All I have to say, and you may have heard already: Buy Term and invest your savings. Term insurance is cheaper and has no cash value. Anything else is a rip off; "Cash value" is just a ploy just as posting the word "sale" over a retail display entices customers. We've wired our brains to automatically think that "sale" means a "sale" and "cash value" is actually "cash value". Cash value is what they offer you to cut their losses; when does chosing between ways to get back *your* money make consumer sense. "You can have the coverage, *or* the "cash (trash) value".
Sorry- Just a rant because we all deserve the right type of protection and deserve to keep as much of our hard earned money as possible.

How does one go about becoming licensed to sell insurance? Is it difficult? Lengthy? Costly? Worth it?
Can you tell a little about your experience with the process?
I ask because it is a field I have always been interested in.

I know the life insurance field can be very lucerative but that to be successful takes a lot of hard work and determination. I assume you are associated with a brokerage or a life insurance company - are you planning to start selling directly or are you looking into another role now you are liscenced?
Best wishes for a successful career in this field and I hope we get to read about your journey.
