California E&S Insurance

Am I actually able to make it? I’m getting my 215 in Florida to sell health and life but I’m not sure I can actually make any money. So far the only jobs I’ve seen in my area are almost all scammy, lying to me and having me lie to my clients. I get it I don’t actually have my license yet but still dude. I worked for very small brokerage selling first health and multi plan gap insurance. The script was easy, I did fairly well for my first time ever, first day closing I sold a $514 premium with dental, vision, hearing and tele med add on. Made like $200 on that deal. The problem was I was there for a month and entire time I had maybe 4 deals tops close in a week. I sent out over 5 fronts a day on average. Then only sold one plan myself when I was closing deals. I know I can sell health insurance. My thing is everything I’ve seen here and in real life tells me the only way I can actually make money here is by fucking lying to people?! I spoke with a few independent agents and they all say the same thing, go independent with a good IMO and buy leads until you have a book you can just get referrals from. Is that the only REAL option I have for not working at some shitty office 50+ hours a week? Idk man how tf am I gonna pay for leads if I’m broke and can’t even survive as it is working a normal BS job?
