Someone I met today is an insurance agent. I went to work but I didn't have much of a voice so I was still pretty sick.

"Why do you like being an insurance agent?"
"I know it's not the most sexy of professions but I like it. I have a friend who... If there was an accident, and everyone is running the other way... He would look towards where they're going and ask how he can help. I like that and admire that. People who need insurance don't really look into what they have until they need it, and I want to help them before they get to that point."

Huh. Well, he sold me on his pitch. It was a convincing enough story for me. He had a hard time understanding me because my voice was still pretty shot.
