Nope
What kind of insurance you peddle, Trout?
One more question. Any of your clients suck? Don't lie.
Anything you can think of. I insured a hole-in-1 contest earlier this year, for instance.
For the most part, I love my clients. I'm to the point that I can be picky with who I take on, so I don't mess with people who pay cash every month or need their hand held all the damn time. As far as JF posters go, Jason is by far the worst.
No, moron, he was Loggrad.
Yes. Now answer the damn question.
Nah, you're too handsome to be him.
lol
My grandfather started an insurance company in 1948 and my mom owns that now, but I never took any interest in the business (it's in Indiana).
We only have a small group (with Blue Cross) but feel free to contact me if you ever want to take a look at what we've got.
EDIT: Group is in Utah.

Not me personally, you dolt. And I'm pretty sure I would smoke your hole in golf, and I haven't played in two years -- and when I did play, I sucked. I've just met you in person, and you can just tell that you're an uncoordinated wiener-dick.
I know this is from a few months ago but I never responded to your post (and you're probably not even on the forum anymore).
What I mean is that your hard work correlates to your success and how far you go much tighter than almost any other field. What I don't mean is that there's a linear progression in income based on the hours you put in. What I'm getting at is that if you want to become an orthopedic surgeon and make x amount, there's nothing stopping you. If you want to be an ophthalmologist, then you work hard and do well on boards and rotations and this is a real possibility for you. If you want to be the CEO of some particular company or some high-powered lawyer, sure you can put in the hours, work hard and work smart, but there's still a whole hell of a lot of luck that plays in as a very significant variable. This is something that those within medicine have a very difficult time understanding, especially considering that many in medicine haven't worked outside of it to see how the 'real world' actually works. Yes, there's politics and luck within medicine, but as far as becoming what you want to become it's much more based on what you put in rather than a stroke of luck.
Business is a much different world. Perhaps you could have made it into Harvard Business School.
The ceiling is very much so higher, but this is assuming you got in to HBS. You may very well match up academically and in intellect with those admitted to HBS, but they're looking for very different things than medical school. Do you feel you would have had an application on par with those who matriculate at HBS? I'm going to have to guess no, since there's would be much more business specific.
Yes and no. A Caribbean trained physician is going to make the same income as his ivy-league conterpart relative to their specialty, but this only accounts for those in the same field. Where they are unequal is who stands the better chance of landing themselves in a "more desireable" specialty. While a Caribbean-trained ENT has all the potential to make the same as an ENT that attended any ivy-league school, the Caribbean medical student does not share the same likelihood of matching into ENT as does the ivy-leaguer, generally speaking.
No, they're not all equal. But unless you're a pathologist, you're not going to be unemployed.. Other fields do not have the luxury of being able to choose their destination. As a physician, many bitch that their location may not have the best salary, benefits, call schedule, etc., that they feel is fair, but other fields people take the job just to be employed, despite location or other perks.
The bottom line is that the average medical student would have much less security in other fields. If given the benefit of the doubt and we assume that the top 5% of medical students would be the top 5% of business/law/whatever, this still doesn't account for everyone in the middle of the pack. What are the honest propects of the average medical student bbeing in another field where they pull down a reliable 200k every year with that kind of job security? Sure, they can "work hard" to get there, but the luck required in landing gigs like that is such a more significant part of the equation than is the hard work. In medicine luck won't get you too far.

It was that time I was raking in all your chips and spilled my beer, wasnt it? Always get the shakes when I bluff some tard off a big hand.
Doesn't change the fact that you run/throw/swing/talk like a girl.
