    My wife and I are both life insurance agents.
    I have been doing that for two years, and she has been doing it for two weeks.    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Where did you take your testing to become an agent? Insurance Testing Corp (now Experior Testing) has sites in JefCity, St Louis, Springfield. Been to all of them.

    While a missionary pastor here in Wyoming, I set up the first (and only) testing site for our state back in 92-96. They still call me in a few days a year to meeting with the Board of Insurance Commissioners and to cover for the gal now running things.

    Loved meeting these happy, outgoing folks that would be selling insurance soon. And consoling those who didn't hit 70%.

    As a missionary to new churches, reviving dying works, and on the reservation, it was an eye-opening blessing.

    Wow...so many very different job descriptions here.
    I am a homemaker, I've always been a homemaker, I suppose I'll be a homemaker till the day I go home to be with the Lord. [​IMG]
    My husband is a tire builder for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. He comes home smelling like new tires. :D
    Coming home smelling like Charmin must be pleasant.
    And I have a son that will someday be a band director, I guess in another year and 1/2.

    How in the world did you go from teacher to factory worker!

    Speaking of English . . . can you help me with participles! [​IMG] I can't find a good definition of what one is or does exactly . . . at least not a definition that satifies my curious mind. The grammar books are too vague for me at times.    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Sorry I'm late. I don't visit as often as I used to.

    Participles!! :eek:

    Here. Participles


    My first year of teaching was such a rotten experience I vowed never to do it again.

    I am the Assistant Store Manager for an off price department store. I like the job, but the hours are awful. Way too many Sundays and Wednesday nights.


    Elizabeth Dr. Bob let slip you are from Rockford in another post. If that is correct information I'll bet I know what radio station. Also either your using a screen name here, a professional name on the radio, or both.

    Dr. Bob,

    Sorry for the delay, I am doing some catch up on my forum reading today. [​IMG]

    I took my test in Jefferson City. She took hers in St. Louis. I don’t know why she had to take her test in St. Louis, but it is closer.

    It is a very hard test!! I remember praying very hard to pass mine. My classes were done
    through A.D. Banker and I remember thinking, There is no way! when I was taking those courses. But I read and studied the book and God put some questions on that test that I would know. I passed the first time with an 81%. Now my wife had a bit more trouble. She passed the third time with a 71%. (see Amy, that proves I am smarter
    hehehe :D) What is coming up for me soon is my Series 6 securities test. They say it is a bear!

    I ask that you pray for us as we venture out into this adventure together. She will have a base pay for awhile, but then its all commission all the time. That can be good, but it can also mean disaster. I only look forward to working side by side with the better half. (I am making up for my smarter joke hehe :D)
