I fell in love with risk management and insurance. How many people can genuinely say this? In fact, I often hear, “You are majoring in what?” As I meet people within the insurance industry and ask them how they got into the business, the common answer is usually, “my father-in-law (neighbor, cousin, etc.) was in the business and convinced me to try it out.”
It is even more common that their majors have nothing to do with insurance. As for me, my love “had me at hello.” It was Introduction to Risk Management and Insurance – a required Fox School of Business at Temple University course – that captivated my interest, and when combined with my near perfect grade, I had little apprehension to switch majors.
