If you go with MoO, do you get to meet Marlin Perkins and/or Jim? That sort of thing might tip the scales...

How important is a company's national advertising in credibility? Where do their leads come from? Are they really leads? Or just a list of people that just turned 64?

You'll have to go to the office for training and turning in new business. I would plan on having to show up at the office at least 3 days per week. You shouldn't have to stay long (I wouldn't), but you'll have to make the trip out there on a rather regular basis.

They may give you an orphan (clients where the original agent is gone) or two, but other than that you're gonna have to find your own people.

Interesting thread. Reminds me a bit of the recently defunct Religion and Politics Forum. Here's my 2 cents:
Whoever made the comparison above about Michelle Obama asking for attorney referrals while she waited to take the Bar -a much, much better analogy would be to Hillary Clinton who actually flunked the D.C. Bar. I'll bet she got a lot of wasted advice about practicing law in Washington. She did marry Bill, moved to Arkansas, passed the Arkansas Bar, and promptly got a job with a big firm and made a killing in beef futures. The moral: don't listen to anyone here -instead marry the attorney general of whatever state you're in.
On getting any securities licensing: way too early for that. If he doesn't make it with the insurance exam, he has no chance with securities licensing requirements. Sell some insurance for a couple of years. Know what is going on and what you're capable of before considering taking the securities plunge.
Most of you guys are hilarious. I think any newbie here should lurk for at least a month to get an idea of the personalities. Oh, ditto the unbunchable panties thing -that's important before that first post too.

If he gets to meet Marlin he better be prepared for 27 years of stink! It's been almost 28 years since he's had a shower.
