What qualifications do you need to be an insurance agent?

Can someone explain what the process is to become one? I'm considering taking up a career in it.

Basically to become an agent:

First: You have to decide what lines of insurance you want to sell.

Second: you have to take state approved pre-licensing classes for the types you wish to sell.

Third: You have to pass the state exams for the lines you wish to sell.

Fourth: You have to get appointed in your state with the insurance carriers you wish to have product lines through.
This can done through a captive agency, an FMO/IMO, or sometimes directly from the insurance carrier.

That is the easy part...
