Working for commission is all well and good, but I would like to know if a licensed agent can make decent money without having to depend on working for commission.

Sometimes apartment complexes hire licensed Realtors as managers. Those people are paid a salary. Sometimes shopping malls or other commercial building owners hire licensed Realtors to rent out property. Those are salaried jobs.

There are some cut-rate brokerages around that pay a base salary and reduced commissions but their service is just sub-par when compared to those motivated by commissions.
If you worked for a firm that handled rehabs or a home-builder, I know of licensed Agents that do make a decent salary that is not directly tied to sales. Unfortunately, these positions are not too common.

Some of the larger companies may start you out this way for the first 3 months or so until you get accustomed to how sales works. This pay is then gradually paid back after you begin making sales.
But you'll have to really prove that you are worth it by doing everything that you are asked, i.e., attend sales meetings and sit on site at open houses.
Us smaller ones can't really afford to do so.
