Not finishing the shoveling of snow in the driveway doesn’t always equate to laziness as much as boredom.
Actually getting involved with insurance can be a positive. Insurance is very much a part of many aspects of our lives. Insurance is a necessary evil and designed to make a profit even though it is thought of as protection should something go wrong. However, what is learned and constantly calculated is risk.
There are people that constantly look at and calculate the statistical risks that are behind the different insurance packages that are sold in all kinds of areas. It’s big business.

Not shoveling snow was simply a microcosm of an example of his laziness. There were a truckload of other things as well (basic chores and work ethic).
I'm not disputing the need for insurance sales, analytics, risk assessment, adjusters, and whatever else the insurance business offers. I agree they're all necessary. I'm just saying his approach to getting there is flawed. He wants to sell insurance yesterday. Life simply doesn't work that way and at 23-years-old he doesn't want to hear it. That's where his immaturity comes into play.
There are plenty of people in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond that aren't happy with their careers. I'm not saying he should just throw his hands up and accept the hand that he has been dealt. What I am saying is he needs to reassess his approach and accept life as it comes and adjust as necessary. That's the part he doesn't want to hear. He's not about hard work. He's about I want it now and it's unfair that I don't have it.
