Why are most insurance agents politically conservative?

[DWPCL]

I wonder how many young agents start out Left leaning and end up Right leaning later in their careers?

I was one of those

Hmm, 12 votes.
11 center to right.
1 ultra-liberal - I wonder who.

I believe that it's more about the overriding philosophy between Left and Right.

The Left: Let government take care of everything.
The Right: You should take care of yourself.

Buying non-required insurance (all insurance other than auto and homeowners, etc.) is about taking responsibility and requires more character to buy. That seems to attract more conservative agents and advisors to help people make individual decisions.

Just the common thread I tend to notice.

For me personally, I'm fiscally conservative and far more Libertarian on social issues.

There are 2 now. My guess is @Markthebroker. He's from California, so the shoe fits

I'd love to see numbers in this.
I see a chit ton of younger Asian and Latino agents.

But yeah, predominantly male.

MLMs don't count.

Unless you lose an election, in which case, employ every possible bureaucratic mechanism to try to nullify election results.

Insurance Sales. The harder you work, the more $$$$ you make! I started at age 27. I’m now 70. From age 27 to about age 40, I worked my ass off. How can I not be conservative? I voted mid right. Guys like Tucker Carlson are too much for me.
