To those outside of the industry, there is a perception that insurance is dull and boring, behind the times technologically — and certainly not a field anyone would consider for a career.

But they are so wrong.

Insurance is a vibrant, challenging industry where the risks and rewards constantly change and the primary focus is to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need assistance following a devastating loss. It is the only career option that offers a 98% chance of employment after college for students who choose risk management or other insurance-related majors.
