Finance Career Cluster Paper

The Finance Career Cluster consists of four Pathways: Banking and Related Services, Insurance Services, Business Financial Management, and Financial Investment Planning. The career that has been assigned to me is Insurance Underwriter, which falls under the Insurance Services Pathway. There are about 42 different careers in this cluster, although, one thing that they have in common is that they all have to do with keeping track of money and expenses for corporations and government services. These people have to be good at calculating expenses and costs for small local companies whereas, some for big international corporations.
Insurance Underwriters are people who delegate whether to provide insurance to organizations or individuals while,

calculating the risk of insuring them. Insurance Underwriters work in indoor offices, in desks but, may work anywhere in the world, since people with this occupation are required all around the world for various companies. Also, most Insurance Underwriters work "around the clock", while using computer programs in order to see who is eligible to the services. But, the downside is that Insurance Underwriters usually make at the most $39,050 (at least in Mississippi).
The Education required to obtain the Insurance Underwriter occupation is having a bachelors degree in business, finance, economics, or mathematics. One degree that I am particularly interested in is the Business degree, because it can be obtained at Mississippi State University. The classes needed to obtain this degree may include (not all): English Composition 1 and 2, Collage Algebra, Principals of Financial Accounting, and Business Statistical Methods 1, while, ongoing education is required to advance in this occupation. "In order to maximize the benefits of their degree, students are strongly encouraged to work closely with a faculty advisor in securing an internship and developing their personal program of study."
