What advancement opportunities are there in Insurance field for claims adjusters?

Question

Thinking about doing this after graduation. I'm currently working on an undergrad in Agri-business but I'm also considering an MBA. A job as a claims adjuster seems desirable and obtainable at the moment, however I'm unaware or the advancement opportunities as well as salary potential. I'd like to eventually make a six figure income as well.

Answer 1

Adjusters earn a good living.  You will be able to support your family.  

But adjusters don't make 6 figures.

Most professions don't earn 6 figures.

I've known several MBA's over the years.  (and yes, some work as adjusters).  The one thing they seem to have in common, is they over estimate what an MBA is going to get them. In short, they think too highly of themselves.  An MBA is good- great for you for getting it. If an employer can't decide between you and another candidate...the MBA can break the tie.   Just be careful and don't get stuck on the idea that you're going to get 6 figures just because you have it.

Spend some time playing on salary.com.

Answer 2

claims adjuster supervisor, claims manager, Director of Risk Management, etc.

you can work on a masters at night and you may find a company that is willing to pay for your degree too....some recruiters are put off by new employees with too much education and not enough actual job experience, especially in a job market like now where they are looking to hire cheaper job candidates before they pay out big bucks for a professional degree....something to consider
