You got very lucky with a cool boss. Your coworkers are doing the same thing as you, but if they’re over 40, they’re probably just really slow at doing the same amount of work. Or they’re in a silent competition to be the last one out the door.
We are the silenced majority. Our hastily written and poorly thought out articles will be quashed by the Man, but free speech lives on in the comments section. Who knows, keep writing and maybe eventually they’ll be low enough on content to post some of your stuff.
Let’s see, go to lunch every day and eat greasy, unhealthy food that I’ll get sick of after a couple months, or make a car payment? Tough call. I think I’ll pack my leftovers, pop in some headphones, and enjoy the weather while eating on the patio outside my office.
I would love a Tesla, but I won’t be able to afford one until everyone else is already driving electric cars, so I just got something that’s good on gas as a compromise.
It really depends on the company and where you’re working. Look up Great American Insurance, Liberty Mutual, even Nationwide or Aflac. In the Midwest, most underwriting programs will get you between 40-60k during your first year or so. Obviously somewhere like Boston or Chicago would have a higher cost of living and hopefully a higher salary to match.
No specific education needed, especially if they offer a training program. I know people with graphic design, history, business, and sociology degrees that work in underwriting. Business is probably your best bet, but it’s definitely not required.
A lot of insurance companies offer paid training programs to enter underwriting. It pays well. The job is pretty mind numbing, but what desk job isn’t?

“Never go to the comments section. You’ll always be disappointed.”
*Goes to the comments section, is disappointed*
“Goddammit, self.”
Keeping the phone on vibrate when you’re waiting for a text from a girl and lying in bed? Johnny, you’re smarter than that.
Congrats on the new job, and just remember, nobody expects you to do anything after giving notice.
Never gotten either, but I’ve been saying for years that I should give a pedicure a try. Nothing worse than nasty feet and hard calluses.
Let’s all just be thankful there are no Aidens on this list.
Am I wrong or should a guy named John not get all high and mighty about Michael, Alex, or James?
“A”ffect is an “A”ction is how I always remember it.
Sushi is my favorite hangover cure. I don’t know why people want to continue the grease train on Sundays.
Your point stands, though.
I think it’s just a summary of about 80% of guys who were in fraternities in college.

That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about HR.
