hi dream big,
are you very sure this is what you want? when i said 'are u
sure' i meant are you 100% chop chop kalipok sure. If yes then
forget about studying and go right into the line.
why i say that, because 3 years in a poly is a super long time
and the amount of field experience you will lose is just too much.
getting into poly won't help you in this line at all (sales) unless
youre taking finance diplomas and maybe for the cause of
networking. so if youre 100% sure this is what you want go for it.
google some career seminars with some of the big boys out there
(AIA, Great Eastern, Prudential) then see if you like it.
I m in this line as well so if you want i can lend you my notes,
they are pretty updated.
and no, MAS is very strict when it comes to agent's compliance.
no license no selling. but you can do some active prospecting while
you studying for the exams. what i suggest is get signed up with
one of the big boys, get your license, do part time insurance n see
if u like it.
this is a reply to angel7073, you re quite wrong. insurance
companies have seen one of the highest increase in new premiums
acquired in the 1st quarter of 2011 so no prospect is pretty wrong.
and cpf only insured you with medishield which only covers so damn
little(check up their site). i heard cases whereby your bill can 4
to 5k and you can't claim any amount. so health insurance is
definitely the first thing.
just my 2 cents
