How much money should a licensed CSR make?

Question:

I currently work for a Farmers agent, and recently had my second interview with another company and was asked how much money was I looking to make. I have my Property & Casualty license and have a 1 1/2 years in the insurance business as auto insurance broker and customer service. What should I be making or whats the average pay for someone in my similar position?

Answer:
Obviously, it depends on your location, but here in Houston, with 18 licensed months under your belt, working on personal lines, I'd expect you to be making $18 - $23K a year; a bit less if you've only done auto work.

First of all I must tell you that you have my sympathies having worked with Farmers! I was an agent for them for 17 years until I finally smartened up and got the hell out.
I'm now an independant agent, love it, and wished I had done it long time ago.
Anyhow, the farmers agent won't be paying you what you are worth unless I miss my guess, and secondly your wages somewhat depend on what part of the country.
But I would say you ought to be in the vicinity of $14/hour plus benefits!

a licensed CSR is only a glorified clerk ,sadly, what's already been reported 18M-23M, i was licensed agent/CSR for 30 yrs and only got 25M, even though a CSR does all the work, if you want to make some money in the ins business you'll have to become fulltime agent and work outside the office

you can see these suggestion about insurance saving.
