you need to decide between pursuing the life and property and casualty road and the life and investment road. some companies offer all three. my recomendation is to start at a captive company like prudential or metlife as they will provide a starting salary and lots of training. once you get your legs under you, you can decide to stay or leave and become an independant where the pay is more lucrative.

One decision you should make is whether you want to be a "captive" agent ie. only sell insurance for a specific company or
an "independent agent", who sells insurance for many different insurance companies.
Farmers Insurance is big in California and they have been on a big agent recruiting push the past few years.

accepting other lines is better. insurance on fire and casualty are interesting considering the elements which challenges your ability and skill. you will not regret. better yet, enroll in Insurance subject.

I would not say you are out to a bad start. Get the experience you need and see what you feel comfortable at. All of these opportunities allow networking. And networking is going to be your greatest asset.
