My neighbor sells 3M sandpaper. I can't think of anything more boring than that.

It's not that boring dude. You meet a lot of really wealthy individuals and help them plan their lives / secure the future for their families. Tell me how that's boring.

You're not doing it right. ;)

Just wait till you're juggling 4 life insurance cases (2 of which are with retarded underwriters who keep losing your paperwork), dealing with a paramed who's both the coolest RN ever but also batsh!t insane, 3 health insurance cases with different providers, and trying desperately to work out a 1035 exchange on a $205,000 annuity so you can get 3% commission. :D

Find your niche in the industry and stick to it. Some people are UL wizards, others are group health insurance gurus, etc.

Back in the disability insurance boom of the 80's, my dad pulled in 850K a year. Dollars. American.

Ok, strike my previous statement about tapes, all the products in 3M's Industrial Business product catalog belong here.
