But that's what I'm doing these days.
After spending 36 years working in the insurance industry, I've found myself doing the thing I enjoy most (writing) while focusing on something I know well and enjoy very much (insurance).
I presented a CE course at the NAIW convention in Las Vegas last week. I developed and wrote the course and I was asked by NAIW to also provide them with the introduction the facilitator would read when introducing me. When I called myself a "self-proclaimed insurance junkie" I was being serious. The audience, however, laughed. (I guess that's because most people don't find insurance the least bit interesting, let alone fascinating.)
If you like insurance--really like it, why don't you write about it? Submit articles to insurance publications, start a blog, send out newsletters to your clients.
Let me tell you, there's plenty of room out there for people who know their stuff and can write. The world of insurance is extensive and none of us knows everything. Your perspective may be just what a number of other insurance professionals need to hear to facilitate a better understanding or appreciation of a particular type of insurance--or our industry in general.
