Hi,

This forum has great information!  Haven't been discouraged so far.

Background:

Received BS degree from Michigan State Univ. in construction engineering/mgt.  Received Florida General Contractor license in 1981 and Realtor license in 1990.  Have worked as project management/qualifier in both residential and commercial construction.  I have owned and management rental units for the past 18 years.  I have been working as wind mitigation inspector for State of Florida for the past year.  Strong estimating background.  Worked locally as a GC in rebuilding since Andrew.  Have bought and flipped several houses. 

Now that I've tooted my horn...I am planning to take all-line adjuster course locally mid September and would like to enter the cat adjuster field.  Can't take my eyes off The Weather Channel knowing that I could help in some capacity.

Any advice?

If you are proficient with the more in demand estimating programs you can probably get a gig writing scopes for someone. Tag along with an experienced adjuster and get some policy knowledge and claims handling experience. You'll make a buck and ascertain whether this profession is for you. Good luck.
