Attaining License While Away For Studies

[Account Closed]

Blessings all,

My name is Benedict, but you all can call me Thomas. I turned 18 two weeks ago, and I have had it set in my mind that I want to be a real estate agent since I was 16. However, education is one of the most important things in the world to me. That education will have me out of New York City ( Where I will be getting my license) for most of the year, and I will only have May and the the summer months to work. Is it still worth getting my real estate license before I am done with school? Will a broker even consider sponsoring me knowing that I won't be able to work for1/6 of the year? Real estate is what I'm going all in on. I love my city, and the idea of putting people moving to my city or those already here into a more comfortable and desireable living situation is a dream profession for me. I just don't know if it's worth attaining licensure so early considering I'll be studying abroad for at least the next 8 years (I'm planning on pursuing a PhD). 

Thank you for any replies! God be with you all now and ever and forever!
