Do I need a Real Estate Broker License to use MLS in Oregon?

[Jackson Malace]

I am a college student at Oregon State University currently studying engineering, and I am trying to build my real estate education so I will be better prepared for investing when I join the workforce after school. There is an opportunity to get a real estate broker license at a local community college, and I had a few questions to see if it would be worth it to pursue now.

Do you need a broker license to access the MLS in Oregon? Wasn't able to find any legal information on this through research.

Would a real estate broker course be a reasonable investment in learning about investing?

Is it possible to be a part time real estate agent? Could I potentially make income that would cover the costs from being a broker if I was able to put in 20 hours of work per week?

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post, I really appreciate the educational resources of BP and am looking forward to continuing to learn from this community.
