    Thanks for the vid. I have started my process for becoming an insurance adjuster. It seems exciting! My current job can be a lot of boring paperwork, but I think with my experience doing tons of paperwork under pressure previously as a teacher, and currently as a social worker, that’s a plus! The court stuff at my current work bores me to death, the paperwork is boring, and the only excitement is seeing the kids. I think I would do well with an insurance job on my feet where I get to go out into the field.

    Writing the estimate is only a fraction of the process.

    I am seriously considering this career path. I was a teacher for 9 years, and got burnt out, plus the money stinks! Then I went into medical sales, but to be honest, I don’t think I’m great at it, and it’s very unreliable work (you can be let go at anytime). I am a little confused by some of the things I’ve read…can you be an independent desk adjuster? I don’t want to do field work.

    I am differently interested in the field, but the 1 thing that SCARES me the most is the amount of HOURS. I can push my way thru 50 hrs a week but doing 60 + a week for as long as the deployment would be tough. You mention some firms let you pick your hours. Do you have a listing of those firms?

      CAT is easily 90 hours a week if you want to stay on the storm and not be the first to go home after 2-3 weeks. Realistically it's 100-110 hour weeks. 50-60 hours a week should be daily work only.

      You have no idea what I just went through with State Farm! The insurance adjuster I dealt with Ronald Tay*** was awful. With MY persistence, and hard work, I was able to get the contractor paid but it took months and help from a private adjuster whom I had to pay.
      All I wanted was my garage, to be the way it was before a tree was dropped onto the roof.
      Adjusters work for the MAN, the insurance companies that don't give a shit about their customers. All they care about is profits, and you help them achieve that goal. Almost like an uncle Tom. So yes, they pay you well to do their dirty work.
      Yeah, I'm the bad guy. I filed a claim against my policy.
