Broker License as Temporary Side Gig

[Nicholas Sanchez]

Hi all!

I recently obtained my broker's license in Chicago. I currently work full time and am looking to use my broker license as a side gig for at least the next 6 months. I was wondering if there is something out there where I could 'hang' my license temporarily before joining a brokerage in order to avoid paying the monthly fees? This is because I do no plan to be super involved in the real estate game at first and figured I'd try to save that money. My plan is to temporarily work with a colleague who is already part of a brokerage and kind of use it as a training to get up to speed before fully committing to the broker life. 

Any advice for my situation would be helpful! Thanks!
