Hey Guys and Gals,
I have been in the information technolgy field for serveral years now, and have been thinking of a career change.
I have a good friend who is an adjuster and the job description sounds very interesting!&160; His only advise was 'Go get certified and get on with a company basicly'&160; For his defense we only chatted breifly on the subject.
Other than just going to the 3 day class, and passing the tests.&160; What else would I need to do.
Any advise would be a great help...

So you want to be a Cat Adjuster
The first question that should be asked is “Why” Think very carefully about your answer. If money is your answer, then you should rethink your career choice, because money should never be the main consideration regarding any career choice. If you’re financially driven, then possibly you should consider another field, one which has a set career path and has a track record for a regular and reliable salary. ...

Once I was outside smoking and he came out there. He picked up his cell phone and was talking about some "job" that Pilot wanted him to go on. I looked over at his phone and his phone was OFF. He wasn't talking to anyone. Ju...
