C'mon! Stand up for all those things you believe in! Spread freedom to the world!
Plus, it's about the best safety net you can land in when you've done your time. Free health care for life, guaranteed mortgage, tuition reimbursements, etc.
Go for it.

I had a second call from a major insurance company this week who I already interviewed for previously out of curiosity. When I told the cold caller I'd already seen Mr so and so and been interviewed she did not know what to say.
I'm sure some people do very well in insurance - just seems like a lot of turnover
