If you really aren't sure why don't you start off as part time, while keeping your job, until you see if that's what you really want to do and see if it looks like its going to work out for you. Ease into. Unless you have the training you need, you feel 100% comfortable with doing just that, don't risk it. If you are questioning it, you are setting yourself up to fail anyway. You want to succeed, ease into it, get a feel for it. Then cut loose.
Good Luck.

my ex's dad did this because he was really unhappy w/ the company he was with because of the practices they used to mislead the public into buying a certain car. It hurt him in the long run too as well because of built up 401K plan and retirement and insurance benefits that were better than what he got moving to a better job meaning he'd have to work his way up. He had been w/ the other company 15 or so years and went into insurance. And the insurance company wasn't so great either. He really regretted making the change rather than trying to stick it out.
If you can stick it out for a little longer, have you thought about other avenues of bring income into your household? Have you thought about working from home? Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad)'s "The Business School" says this is the way to go to get on the other side of the case flow quadrant. You could do this until you bring in enough income to replace what you're making now and be free! Visit the site at http://www.bedavis1.mywayout.net/ and learn how it can be done!
Good luck

no it takes about a year to get off the ground so take on the insurance business while holding down your job and keep it for a year you'll see it will work well since in insurance you have to constantly find leads another business really helps. i know many people who o both do very well and have retired very early

What is your current job?
If you think you'll like the new job better, then you could quit... Hard to quit when you've been there for 16 years though.

why don't you start being an agent on the side before you jump into the deep end?

If you like sales, it is basically all selling, with little insurance knowledge. Good money if you are good at it.

no because insurance agents are evil - do you want to manipulate, deceive and lie to people?

Nope - insurance is very difficult.

Sure, if you think you can afford it & aren't afraid of maybe starving to death.
