Subject: RE: The best has yet to come
Listening more than talking is absolutely true. It is a humbling experience to sit back and listen to some of the more senior people in the industry. I am not even kidding you when I say I learn something new every single time. I started out as a broker but quickly got the itch to Underwrite and landed a great position as a casualty underwriter about a year and a half ago. I have been extremely fortunate throughout my career thus far in that I am surrounded by seasoned veterans ready, willing and able to "show me the ropes".
I really enjoyed reading this article as well as some of the comments. (The whiz kid comment made me laugh out loud!) Please do not count my generation out just yet. While there is something to be said about the legends that are beginning to retire, I have faith that there will be a lot of good things to come. Whiz Kid MBA's aside, of course!
