Student and an agent?
Hello,
Was hoping to get some in-site from others who knew they wanted to finish college but also wanted to start a career in RE.
I am currently 23 and getting a BS in Construction management, I have one year left. Yay! I got my RE license roughly a year ago and have been sitting on it debating to jump in now or after graduation. I’m working 2 pointless jobs just to pay for rent and all necessities for living while in college. With a good chunk of money saved from High school I want to dip my toes in RE and take a Chance. I guess my question is do I begin my career in RE a year out from graduation or after graduation? Everyone I’ve spoke to about this matter says they wish they got in earlier.
Any advice would be appreciated!
