I accidently closed this question too early. The question remains if it is, in what markets and what companies? United American, Unicare? Let me know.

It certainly can be, but you need to make sure that you have the right companies and the right contracts. Check out the new agent forum at www.insurance-forums.net/forum

You're best bet is to join an agency which markets health insurance options from many insurance companies. This will lead you into group health sales since it is typically cheaper for the insureds but since there are many of them more profitable in commisions for you.
The key is to do the research into what agency you join, some agencies are a bit sketchier than others.
Regardless, you can make big money peddling group health insurance (and following up with the supplemental insurances such as life, disability, accident, etc.).

Anything in sales can be even a car dealer but the fact is it's sales & most if not all your income is on commission thus while you may have a good even fantastic month or year the next one or two might not be & if you get use to the good life & then have a hard year can you still maintane appearances. It depends on you really. I had a friend she managed a furniture store got a salary, commission on what she personaly sold, commission on what other sales persons sold, bonuses for hitting sales or profit margins, & other bonus yet when she broke her leg & even though she was only out of work for a month or two she almost lost her house & it wasnt like she bought a huge expensive house or one that would be out of her price range. Her salary was around $65,000 not including commission or bonuses, & again being unable to work for 2 months almost cost her the house which is currently valued around $300k. Now in her defense she was the only income & her boyfriend at the time hadnt worked really in at least 2 years that I know of at least but still. Oh also I forgot that she also had child support which while not always guaranteed monthly even when court monitored it's hard to understand where the money went. So on just her salary she estimating would make about $5500 a month before taxes & I think got $3000 a month from one of the fathers which I believe is taxed at a lower rate if at all. She paid $2200 for her mortgage both her work car & fun car were paid off. So guess about $3500 in expenses. Even after taxes she should still have a little left over & thats without the commissions & bonuses. Now when she got hurt she lost the commissions but at least should have gotten most if not all her salary & yet almost lost her house which even just her salary should have covered. Its her deal but I hope she learned her lesson that's for sure... Moneys nice but you cant just think short term especially when you have family & kids you also have to think long term & what if's while enjoying it in the short term.
