    I work for a leading insurance company as an Insurance Advisor dealing with Commercial Insurance. Feel free to ask me any questions but please do not take what I say as correct advice at all times, as every insurance company works differently to others.

    Thanks for everyone's input, it's rally interesting to see the variety! I started my job 5 years ago earning 14k and changed jobs 3 times since then. Only recently have I settled in my chosen career.
