Is It Worth It?

A good friend of mine is considering working at an insurance company because it is in walking distance from her apartment, and she is currently out of work. The thing is, she’s very nontraditional, like me, and worries that it will be so boring that she will hate it.

Having never worked in an insurance office, I can’t make an educated guess—but going by what I’ve heard, I think she may be right. I told her that maybe she could enliven it up a little, but I’d love to hear from people who work in insurance offices—especially those who consider themselves nontraditional people who would rather work in a free school or as a bartender or something rather than such a traditional career setting!—or who have worked in one in the past.

Is it worth it? Is it as boring as it sounds?

You know, I always thought I wanted a mindless job and now that I have one I am desperate to get out of it!

Haha, I have been there! I managed a restaurant and worked at a little mom and pop store through college and did not enjoy either one; I ended up becoming a tutor instead, which was my favorite job.
