How I Almost Ruined My Adjusting Career (before it got started)

We almost trade a life-changing adjusting career for the illusion of security, and I tell the story of the table where I nearly said no. We walk through the real costs of getting started and why the hardest stretch often shows up right before the breakthrough. • weighing a “safe” job path against a real career move • the father-in-law mentorship offer and what it required • working seven days a week and being away from family • the first auto claim, language hurdles, and learning on the fly • long drives to a distant coverage area and saying yes anyway • income milestones from $42k to $80k+ and the freedom that followed • why quitting early would have cost far more than starting • how we shorten the ramp with certification, mentors, and IA firm agreements You should come learn how to be an insurance appraiser with me.
