I have to admit, being an insurance agent is not as much fun as being a debt collector. Sure there was a lot of stress involved in my last position, but I was able to speak my mind a little bit more freely when I was collecting. At this job I have to be extremely nice even when people aren't so nice to me and I have to say certain things during each conversation and I am graded on all of it all of the time. Sometimes I miss my old job, but that's the way life goes, right? I have to look at all the good that comes with this job - I make more money and I'm closer to home. If it wasn't for the money they pay me we wouldn't be able to afford the house we just got. My life is good. My family and friends are happy and healthy. I have a wonderful husband and fantastic children. I can't complain.
