This is interesting as I was just going to post to see if anyone is a real estate agent. I talked my Mom into getting her license when she was 65 and she did it. I should have talked myself into it back then. Now I'm going for it, a 50th birthday present to myself. I have been working in sales for over 20 years but work in an office by myself and am getting really burnt out. I sell advertising and am constantly bugging people. It's not easy. I know there are draw backs to every job but it will be nice to be with people who actually want to buy something, instead of having to talk people into something that they may or may not want.
I love houses and am always watching the real estate shows.
I plan to keep my job while getting my license which I can get by correspondence. I hope to start off slow, get my feet wet before taking the full time plunge. I can't quit my job as I have no other income and three kids to support. I think it's time though as my youngest two are teenagers.
Would love to hear how it's going for others.
