Is it better to get broker or agent license?

[Max Allendorf]

Hey everyone I'm just starting out and I was wondering, whats better to get my real estate agent license or brokers license? or are they both the exact same. I'm really only wanting to aquire it for my real estate investing career but it would be nice to have a fall back plan if all else fails or if i wanted to do something on the side. which one has the potential to make more? I really appreciate any info i can get, thanks everyone!
