>> shawn: november. >> so you heed need to have a plan in case you have an accident or whatever. another reason, tacks. if you are getting later on in life and have a sizable estate and need to pay tacks and sometimes you can use life insurance as an investment, tax, free retirement plan. the problem is do you want to sit down with someone and go through this and feel like you're getting the used car says pitch. >> shawn: i've been in one of those and it's >> it's awful. and the truth is people -- insurance salesmen are unfortunately infamous for overselling what someone really needs. let's take an example -- i'll let you talk in a couple of days. >> you're doing great. >> let's take your situation. you have a baby coming up and you say, okay, it's important for me to have a plan, for the child, for the family inch case you only need a 20-year term

and think i don't need to pay for a wholly policy. term is a policy you have for a certain period of time. very inexpensive. the best thing to have to protect a timeline. so for that term policy it's going to pay for 20 years if something happens to you. for you've i mate be 20 bucks a month foral it's important thing to have. who a whole life policy for $500,000 might be a 200 or $300 a month commit: you say i don't know if i need the whole life. this is just to rates the family but guy watches to sell you the 200 didn't or $300 plan for a big are commission. so, that's what is important that people get an honest answer for the type of life insurance they need. and there's lots of situations

that uncomfortable time to set down with a salesman. >> you don't always need life insurance where your investments and savings have accrued enough where you can cancel your policy and be self-funded because it's only to take care of your life while you're still low in assets. >> shawn: your term is a lot less expensive the younger you are. >> they call life insurance a premium. if you're paying apparellum when paying an extra cost. a premium for the lat. you're paying someone else a premium to do something that you hope to be able to do in the future because your house is paid off, money in the bank, savings. i don't need to pay a premium to a third party. >> i think you hit on something really important and that is i'm afraid of being oversold. and i just don't know how to navigate it. it is about going to someone you trust. >> somebody you trust that says

the life insurance i want to sell you. it's about finding the life insurance, if any, you need for what you're trying to accomplish. >> you offer one-on-one consultation for people to figure out what their plan is. >> people say how much do i need? and you can say, well, five times your annual salary. through a term policy and people are blown away how inexpensive it is for that type of you say i want it as an investment and $1,500 a month. there's a whole different plan for that. >> shawn: the word insurance strikes fear in the hearts of many. you have representers insurance, huge, -- term life. if something does happen. you'll have wished you got it. >> if you have a little cancer scare that summer and they took

no longer insurable. the insurance companies say, no longer, and i'm glad i had the insurance set up while i was still health. >> people think we're immortal and live forever, but i have a couple family members thatted away in their 40's without live -- life insurance. >> thank you for the great information. people can e-mail you with west. >> alway >> yes. the first 15 caller wes offer a complimently life insurance review. we look at what you already have or review your needs and do an analysis what would be the best under your circumstance and we'll give them the best product for the need. not to make somebody a commission. >> thank you so much. >> if you have questions, or the life insurance you have, if you

>> shawn: chew on this fact. one in three of us had our first job at a restaurant. well, new research is showing that jobs in the industry are helping us develop the skills that will late -- help us later in our work life. so explore that is the head of -- board chair for the national restaurant association education foundation. great having you. >> thank you, shawn. >> let's talk about the restaurant how does it help prepare young people for future careers? >> well, what is so interesting about the survey we conducted, not only the one in three individuals who start their work life in this industry, but that the majority of the survey respondents were happy about that. they thought it was great place to start their career. they would recommend it to

during the work experience, skills like dependability, reliability, sticking to a schedule. the ability to adapt to changing environments. the ability to be flexible with customer and the customer service environment, and then really important around team building. learning how to be part of a team and learning how to build a team. those and seen in the survey are what our respondents said were most important as they grew their career, perhaps in the industry, or if they left the industry and went somewhere else. very transferable skills. but the bottom line for me is that what an amazing place to start your work life, and then what happens to you and how you build. >> shawn: no question. i have mow respect for waiters

see are like half actors, half incredible balancing acts, and half just speed demons. it's unbelievable. so if a young person wants to get into the restaurant industry what resources are available? >> the national restaurant association educational foundation has a prom called pro start, it's a two-year high school program delivered in over country. it's a two-year continuing career technical education program, and it focuses on the culinary arts restaurant management so they develop these skills and get this training before coming out of high school, which will leap-from them in their ability to get a job if they enter the work force or if they're going on to higher education. the other is opportunity, and as

rate is much higher across the country than it is the national average. in las vegas it's at 18.8% unemployed youth. so opportunity youth is a program through the nraef. we partner with local communication organizations that do outreach to unemployed youth. we bring employers to together to be able to match and fill a pipeline for us, as an employer, and also for >> shawn: the service industry in las vegas, a lot of opportunities so a good place to start if young adults are looking for an opportunity in the city. let's talk about this restaurant skills survey. where can people learn more about it?
