Should I wait to start as an agent?

[Graham Rushing]

Here's my  dilemma. I'm starting RE classes next week and hope to have a license by Oct. I have a pretty good paying 8-5 m-f job and I'm wanting to do the agent thing on the side (nights and weekends) for 3-6 months to learn the game before giving up my good paying job. Also my other half is finishing up her PHD and hopefully will be making good enough money for me to go to full time agent but that's six months from now. Should I just wait six months to start or will there be opportunities to learn and make a little money before then? Also will brokers look down on this? Thanks for any advice!
