1) Each state is different. In Texas the required classes to get a license are Principles of Real Estate I, Principles of Real Estate II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms, and Real Estate Finance.

2) I am sure there are many others, but a few Real Estate Jobs that may/may not require a license include: Residential Real Estate Agent, Commercial Real Estate Agent, Commercial Leasing Manager, Residential Property Manager, Leasing Consultant, Real Estate Investor, Appraiser, Contractor, Mortgage Broker, Loan Officer, Foreclosure Specialist, Escrow Officer, Land Developer, Surveyor

3) If you would like to sell land, I would look for jobs that are constantly looking at surveys, plats, zoning, etc. Some of these would include New Home Sales Office, Land Developer, Local Zoning Office, & Surveyor.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
