Becoming an underwriter

[Bob Buzzard]

I was thinking of becoming an underwriter- I have neat handwriting and I can underline.

That's a good start but do you have a shed load of money too?

I think you have misunderstood the nature of the job.

You have to write underneath things, not underline things.

Neat handwriting is a good start, though. Good luck!

With your neat writing have you thought of being a bookmaker. There is a market for hand written books

Ah ok, so you’re saying I need to be underneath something like a table when I do the underwriting? That makes sense. Must be why they get paid so much - they’re managing the risks of working in a confined under space.

And do the notes you'd write then get taken by an undertaker.
