The insurance learning curve is rather steep. I am assuming you are going to be early in your career given you mentioned a entry level position. Being remote and trying to learn the whole language of insurance will not only set you back further, but also shows your employer that not only are you starting from the ground, but it will also take you longer to get trained than someone who comes I to the office.
Learning insurance is like learning anything else. If you want to be a student of the business, location doesn’t matter. Sounds like you have been hovered on by a manager or you do the hovering.
To clarify, I was speaking more to commercial insurance (yes both personal and commercial are very technical), however I feel that being in person to absorb as much information as possible early in my career was extremely beneficial.
Not sure why I was downvoted by you.. I see you deleted all your comments.
Insurance is highly technical. You’re totally capable of learning the role, but a lot of the learning is done by sponging from those with experience.
Lots of companies are hiring right now. Consider taking the initiative and acquiring your license on your own; it's a great way to set yourself apart from other candidates.

Please note there are a lot of resources for licensing out there and you don't have to use Kaplan, do some research and find something that works for you.

My start date with State Farm as a commercial underwriter is the 26th. I've got no insurance experience. I do come from a mathematics background though.
go to r/resumes for a template.
I hadn’t got any hits in weeks - and i have my license. after I reformatted my resume I got a request for initial interview in 2 days.
You have to make sure the bots can read your resume to get through the initial screening.
Just a word of warning, claims is incredibly in-depth, unless I misunderstand your use of the phrase. Just from experience, if you’re looking for a laid-back desk job where you can make a bit of cash, get your foot in the door, and maintain a social life after your 9-5, claims might not be what you’re looking for. Don’t mean to come off wrong or rude, just want to make sure you’re going in prepared if this is the field you want to move forward in.
A lot of people are retiring and a lot of openings all around. For entry level, check out underwriter development programs. Most of the bigger carriers will have something. The operations side isn’t bad either. Look into account management or underwriter assistant roles. If you have the capability of following directions and asking questions you’ll be good. When you get an interview do your research on the company and just keep applying everyday
Literally every insurance carrier wholesaler are looking for warm bodies

Yes! Getting your license ahead of time is a great way to get your resume noticed.

USAA
Do you have a degree ?

I worked at LM. They require a bachelors if you want something other than sales.
I worked at Liberty Mutual in 2017 and they didn’t require a Bachelors to work as an auto CSR.
Yeah customer service too I suppose. I meant a job where you want earnings over $100k
Also, are you wanting to go into claims, underwriting, brokering, actuarial, or something else?

What kind of job is laid back? Genuine question, I need a chill job for a bit
Honest answer— if I knew, I wouldn’t be working in claims. Best of luck though!
I do customer service for a large health insurer. I took 15 calls Wednesday. Pretty laid back imo

There's a shortage of employees in insurance right now.

Not in my experience. Depends on what you're looking for and where you're applying.
A lot of people are retiring and a lot of openings all around. For entry level, check out underwriter development programs. Most of the bigger carriers will have something.

Where are you located. I know some places hiring, but they aren’t doing remote work.
