Some have even said they use a computer model that tells when you should buy and sell in the market.
One of my fraternity brothers from college became an insurance salesman. He was not one of the brighter bulbs on the tree and one semester had 15 hours of F so dropped out and joined the army. He eventually returned to college and obtained a BA in education. He was not making enough teaching so he started selling life insurance on the side. He soon gave up teaching and went into selling life insurance full time. He told me in his first full time year he made three times the income he had made the prior year as a school teacher. He eventually started his own agency and his son joined him. They have had a few complaints filed against them over the years.
