Would I make a successful underwriter? Hex 29.2.3.5 to Hex 15

Hexagram 29 is repeated pitfall, and line 2,3,and 5 are not very positive, even though I feel as this is a type of career I would potentially enjoy. It sounds interesting and one of my friends says even he enjoys it.

Hexagram 15 is Modesty, so does that imply there is a possibly I could make a successful underwriter?

If someone could explain Hexagram 29 and 15 in the context of this question I would really appreciate it.

Hexagram 29 is appropriate for an underwriter since it is the business of assuming risk for others.

In the Image of 15

Within the earth, a mountain:
The image of Modesty.
Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much,
And augments that which is too little.
He weighs things and makes them equal.

Such appraisal is what an underwriter does.

oh wow. I never looked at the ichings response in that way in relations to the actual career. I thought it was the ichings response to me doing that job.
