I recently had to purchase car insurance, and found it to be a fairly painless process. I chose to go with Progressive, but there are plenty of choices out there, like Allstate or State Farm or Liberty Mutual. Progressive, like their commercial says, allows you to look at quotes from other insurers side-by-side with their quote. I double-checked the quotes Progressive gave me from other insurers against the insurers themselves and found Progressive's numbers to be in the ballpark--meaning they're not trying to rip you off or mislead you, they're telling the truth. I chose them for that and for having the cheapest rates and the best online customer service program. I was able to pay my premium over the Internet and print out temporary cards. Six months of basic liability coverage cost me $175, but there is also a month-by-month option.
I was really impressed by how easy and painless they made it. It totally sounds like I'm plugging them, haha, but you have to make your own decisions and do your homework by checking other insurer's sites.
Job-wise, have you looked into doing childcare? Is that something that interests you at all? I make good money at it, and I can schedule my work times around my schooling. Qualifications you will need in order to charge more include your First Aid and CPR certifications, as well as a child development/child psychology class (not required, but it helps tremendously).
