Need some solid career advice
Hey BP Community,
I'm 22, recently graduated college and have a couple options to pursue but don't know what trigger to pull. Want to run by a couple scenarios and just looking for some reasonable advice from some knowledgeable people.
1. My temp job/internship just ended so now I'm unemployed. Really close to pulling the trigger and go all in to becoming a RE agent. I have my reasons for becoming an agent (wanting to work in the RE field, former salesman, entrepreneurial mindset, embraces challenges, network, MLS). And I'm thinking becoming a RE agent in the NOVA (Northern Virginia) area is a plus.
2. On the other hand, I really want to move out of this state to somewhere new, like NC, Texas or Florida, but finding a job to start off with is a hassle. Maybe I should save that move for later down the road? I'm just really eager to move. Really eager.
3. Or maybe I should just try hard to get a regular job that I care about and eventually build up to do some RE investing on the side. I feel like finding an "in the meantime" job is boring and a waste of time, I don't know. Finding a job even for a college graduate is still hard. That's why I'm considering becoming an agent because it's a job that I will truly care about due to the fact of my passion for real estate and that I'll be starting my own business.
I know at the end of the day I have to make the decision that I feel is best for me, but ANY feedback is appreciated. Just a young dude trying to be smart about his moves, thank you
