21 looking to become an agent full time but have some concerns

[Nate Ayers-Moores]

Hey BP! Im Nate and I live in Worcester, MA at the moment and want to become a real estate agent and would want to do this full time, however I have some reservations that I know my come strictly from fear and wanted to see if maybe some experienced members of the group could calm them for me! I work full time as a merchandiser at one of the large soda companies and the benefits are very, very nice and the ot pay is very good as well. I have a decent income but its no where near what i want it to be and on-top of that the work is very boring and dull. My concern with becoming an agent is mainly these 2 things. 1, I am young and often get told i look younger than I am and despite being a very passionate person who is very driven to perform at a high level for not only myself but the people i am helping, I am afraid I may be written off before I ever have a full conversation with a client. 2, as most people fear with a commission based job I have bills I need to pay every month and knowing we are headed into winter where it may not be as busy, i fear not making those bills in time. Im not paycheck to paycheck but I don't have a ton saved up as this journey has only taken place over the past year so I wasn’t as educated before. I know y'all will be able to maybe calm my fears and push me into the direction I feel I already need to go. Thank you
