Friend is a toolbox

I’m currently 18, my friend is 18. I work 12 hour days and he said he wouldn’t ever want to be a “slave” said he works for an insurance company where he gets to be “HIS OWN BOSS” and he had to pay 100 bucks for some license thing, I told him he’s probably in some scam, does this sound like a scam? Said he meets on zoom with people, and he has to recruit people. Pyramid scheme scam right???? Any help on if it’s legit is appreciated
