Any good companies to work for? I just recently got scammed by SHC, but would like to use the license I worked hard to get, and paid for. Just looking for someplace I could use my license.

Sorry to hear you got scammed by SHC. No, you're not alone - thousands of good people have been exactly where you are now, myself included.
There's a few recommendations I would make. First, don't beat yourself up over your mistake with SHC. Sales is a function of how much you believe in yourself, and if you're still kicking yourself, you won't succeed even with the best opportunity out there.
You're probably broke right now or even heavily in debt, so buying a lot of leads and selling direct really isn't an option. Rolling your SHC business seems tempting, but don't do it - it's wrong for the senior, and two wrongs don't make a right.
The best situation you could be in right now would be to join a major player with an excellent reputation and national name recognition because in insurance, reputation is everything. Don't go captive, and don't limit yourself to just health or just life; don't join a less known company only to have to lose that book of business as well months or years down the road. Keep your options open and insist on being able to represent several companies. That way, you can maximize each sales opportunity rather than walking away from business.
You may consider a part-time job (on the weekends, for example) as well to give you steady income in order to see yourself through the next six months to a year.
Best of luck to you. If you need some specific advice, don't hesitate to send me a PM.
