Alicia, awesome first post! As a recent PR grad, but with insurance experience, the money for me was staying where I had the most work experience. I have struggled and even been laughed at from past insurance boss’s when trying to help them see where the industry is moving toward. But…for those of us that have caught the vision…I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

GREAT POST! I think if insurance is going to survive beyond holding solely their ‘customer base’, they will have to embrace social media and the internet whole-heartedly. The young generation will have so much to do with this. Most college grads are social media savvy anyway- the trick (as you pointed out beautifully)is to make ‘boring insurance’ interesting to people online.

First of all, congratulations on graduating and on your internship. I’m a millennial myself (USF 2005) and a blogger for Patrons Insurance in Largo, FL. I think you’re right about attracting the twenty-somethings to the Insurance Industry. I’ve never met Matt R, my RFM or Josh W. but I have a feeling these guys and everyone else help create a fun working environment where learning is encouraged. I kind of want to visit the Orlando office just to hang out. I hope you have fun and learn a lot there. I’m looking forward to your future posts.

Alicia, great post. I hope more young people can find their place in our industry. But the big challenge is for our industry to make it interesting and challenging for today’s millennials. Many of the firms I work with are challenged in this. Thanks for sharing your perspective and best of luck.
