Vantaggi
I am very fortunate to have a job that I absolutely love doing. My job description is essentially to "Help Teachers." The educators I meet with are always so grateful for the help, so I always feel appreciated. As a bonus, I get to select my own hours, therefore I still get to enjoy my life and I never have to miss out when something important is going on. I know as long as I put in the time and effort, I can be successful. And as long as I put in the same effort every year, I know my income will increase significantly every year. The system GLP has set up makes it easy to learn everything and provide educators with the knowledge they need to improve their life. I get to use my mathematical skills, even though it is definitely not a requirement to have such a background. The meetings I have with educators are laid back. It's like getting paid to just have a conversation with someone. And while there are always people at the office to help me when I need it, it is a great feeling to essentially be my own boss. GLP definitely changed my life for the better in more ways that I can describe, and I hope I can help others begin their careers with GLP and begin changing their lives as well.
Svantaggi
To be successful at this career, you have to be able to motivate yourself and you have to be willing and unafraid to talk to people you have never met and express to them that you have information that can help them. This can make it difficult when you are starting out and no one in the schools knows who you are. Also, I would like to see them find a program for offering insurance or helping find the best options even if they are outside of the company.
