Hello all:
I am new to this forum. It has been a tremendous research tool for me. I've been lurking around for a few months.
Where to begin.
I have a pretty good job making $60,000 yr base salary plus around 10K in annual bonuses plus decent bennies working 40 to 50 hours per week in medical equipment sales. My bonuses are capped at $20,000.
So, I've been looking for an opportunity to do better than that.
I had been considering State Farm, and I am still scheduled for the structured interview within the next few months. Reading the experiences of others is certainly sobering, so I have begun to re evaluate my options. I am simply not sure if I am prepared for the level of risk. Other than my mortgage, and one $200 month car payment, I have no debt and pretty good credit, plus 10k cash for the biz. My wife is a teacher and makes 45k per year.
Enter Edward Jones. I know it's not "insurance" but perhaps some of you might have had some experience with this company.
They pay the bills, the assistant and office expenses. You don't own the book, but you can buy into the firm. Of course, there is risk involved, especially with the volatile market and economy.
Can anybody give any insight of the opportunity?
Thanks in advance.
