Insurance question?
Question:
Answer:
I doubt it - if it's anything like health insurance, there are probably lower level jobs that just require a high school diploma, a decent typing speed, and some familiarity with a computer. What I would try and do - get something near the bottom, and then try and learn all you can about the business, so that when a higher level job becomes open, you might be able to compensate for the lack of a college degree with a strong knowledge of the business process.

(Incidentally, many workplaces will often assist employees monetarily who are trying to go for college degrees. They see it as an investment.)
No degree required. Just have office capabilities and be friendly and courteous over the phone.
Call a local insurance agency and ask. Most require you to take special training to get licensed as an agent and in most states you also have to have a license to be a sales representative. No degrees typically are needed, but you must be licensed.
commerce degree is sufficient
May need a license to sell insurance or a bond of some type. All states are different.
Claims or agency?
Agents hire all the time and it is great on the job training. Claims adjusting is a whole different ball game -- not everyone is cut out for it, most companies require a college degree.
The auto insurance industry has many options for entry level employment -- either at an agency, branch office or home office. Once you are hired you may take courses offered by the IIA and advancement is likely. See http://www.aicpcu.org/. Entry level positions could be in customer service or clerical positions. Of couse pursing a degree while working is a good option too. Good luck!
