OK, don't go to a school.  Go to the state insurance department website, they will tell you how to get a license to sell insurance.   If you study really hard, you can do it inside of a month.

THEN, you'll have to find a local agent, willing to let you work for them, for half commission, while you build up your book of business, and learn about the business.  That will take several years, and if you're not good at sales, you'll know it pretty quickly.

It's not easy work - it's lots of hours those first few years, like 60 to 80 hour weeks, the first few years.  But it gets much easier after those first few years.
