Which one carries more weight with regards to credibility in the Property & Casualty insurance industry? And is there a suggested time frame to go after it (i.e. 1 year or 2 years of experience)? I currently work for a transportation insurance agency and have only worked in the insurance industry for about 4 months now, but I was in the transportation industry for about 3 years.

Do you think that it would matter if I went after these designations now or waited? I don't want to waste anytime, but a few have told me that it may be best to wait a few years…I am not married yet…nor do I have a family…so I wanted to knock a few of these designations out before that happened, and then go after my CPCU…

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I don't think it matters much.
