I received my CA Life Agent license this week. I've interviewed at Met, Bankers, NYL, John H. and MassMU. Except for Bankers, all of these large firms want me to morph into a full-fledged 'financial planner', getting a Series 6/63 and spending several years learning a full-range of products.

I'm at mid-life making a career change from sales in the software/consulting industry to financial products. Honestly, I just want to 'job'. I want to sell a valuable product/service (such as LTCI) and not be responsible for a client's financial 'life' from soup to nuts. I want to be productive (selling) quickly (I'm a good sales person... I think.)

I like what I see of Bankers but have read some damaging items here about working there. What happened to the day when you could become an expert at one 'thing' or 'area'? That's how it is in the computer business.

Any advice is appreciated.
