Real Estate Agent License

[Seth Hersom]

I'm 20 years old (going on 21 shortly), and I have one, maybe two years left of schooling. I'm currently taking a semester off for a Commercial Real Estate internship, and I've been thinking about getting my RE Agent License.

I'll be going back to school in the Fall of 2016 (more than likely will graduate May of 2017). What I'm wondering is if I should go through all of the pre-license courses and take the exam while I don't have as much going on during this internship. Do you think it would be worth it for me to pay the broker fees when I go back to school to try to sell during my last year? Or should I just remain inactive until I get out of school? Ultimately, I want the license for the purpose of investing, but it interests me, so I wouldn't mind also doing it part time!

Maybe I should just wait to do it until I graduate, but that's why I'm here. I just don't want to put down the money/time now if it's something that might be better for me to wait for. Let me know what you think, or if you want any more details about my situation, thanks!
