There are many different ways to explore the underwriting profession. You may visit insurance companies to talk with underwriters and other insurance employees. Many insurance organizations will send basic information on underwriting jobs to interested people. You might also consider applying for a part-time or summer job at an insurance company. Even if you answer phones or help file records for the office, you are still gaining basic business experience.
High school graduates may decide to work at insurance companies before going to college to determine their interest in and aptitude for underwriting work. In addition, many insurance companies are willing to hire and train college students during the summer months.
