Senior Project Day 4

5/5/16

Barney & Barney sent me to one of the insurance companies that they work with and get quotes from for clients. Underwriters with different specialties came in and talked to me. People who specialize in risk engineering, life sciences, technology, directors and officers, and general liabilities all came in and told me in depth about what they did. It was interesting to listen to all these people because they all had to anticipate everything that could possibly go wrong with the companies and their products that they were insuring. They then had to figure out if their company could take on that much risk and weigh the benefits versus the potential consequences of providing an insurance quote for that company. I enjoyed hearing about the different types of insurance from the company itself and I definitely learned more about the insurance industry. The people who worked there were also happy to give me advice on my final product based on their own life experiences.

Hours worked: 7
