I am an attorney who went on to get his broker license. Many people take the class for their own education, ie buying houses, etc. In most states though, you are correct that an agent must work under a broker. In SC, all agents must either be a broker or work for one, no matter how much experience they have. To be a broker, you must either have three years experience or have practiced law first. The reasoning is public safety. We don't want a bunch of newbie brokers running around selling people's houses, do we? LOL!
