Entry-Level Real Estate Jobs? Guaranteed Salaries?

[Account Closed]

Hey everyone, my name is Benjamin, I'm living in San Francisco, I just graduated college, and I'm looking to get started in real estate investing (not immediately, but within the next few years). The job that I had lined-up fell through, so I'm currently unemployed and living with my parents. First things first; I need a job of some sort, preferably having something to do with the real estate industry. My goal for the next few years is to save up money (say, 70K) and learn a lot about real estate (say, reading blogs/articles/books and connecting w people 2-3 hours a day), to the point that I'd be able to confidently invest in a property.

MY QUESTION IS...

Are there any jobs for real estate companies that pay, say, a 50-70K guaranteed salary, which would also enable me to learn all about the industry and make connections within the industry? Some sort of "Junior agent," or something along those lines?

Obviously, I could just get my license and start trying to buy and sell houses without the help of any company, but as I understand it, it can take quite a while for me to get it off the ground, and I'd strongly prefer to have a steady source of income and start working a full-time immediately. 

My other option, of course, is to work a different job (for example, sales) that pays well, and then learn about real estate in my spare time. 

But I would STRONGLY prefer to kill two birds with one stone, if at all possible. 

Have you guys heard of these kinds of jobs? Do you think they'd be possible to get without any experience in the industry, just a license?

Please let me know

Thanks, 

Benjamin
