People who entered the labor force 10 years ago around the financial crisis reflect on how their careers suffered and in some ways benefited
John Dodge never planned a career in insurance. The financial meltdown 10 years ago pushed him into it.
Mr. Dodge was a senior at Louisiana State University in 2009, majoring in marketing and hoping to work in real estate. Instead, he began selling insurance, on commission, at Aflac Inc. in Baton Rouge, La. With no base salary or health insurance, he had to hustle. Within a year, he was promoted to district sales coordinator and by 2012 his annual earnings topped $250,000, he said.
