I recently started working at an insurance company.  I am trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible.

 It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk! I like it though

I am very interested in minimizing risk and like that I can help people through insurance.  Don't you agree?

I do, I have heard  an entity which provides insurance is known as an insurer

Do you know when insurance actually became a thing?  Is it just a modern profession and business practice?

I think so but In insurance.The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions

Ultimately, those contracts are built to make the company profits though and have little to do with helping people, right?
