Leave Law Enforcement to become an agent?

[Matthew Hamilton]

I am currently a full time corrections officer. I have become infatuated in real estate and my end goal is to have enough passive income to supplement my w2 income. I am 25 with relatively low bills and no kids. I know that in a few years I will be moving to South Carolina and want to get experience here in real estate before I get down there. Long story short the job sucks and I'm no longer looking at it as a career. Is becoming a real estate agent a realistic option to replace my current w2? Even if it comes close I'd do it to not spend 40 hours a week inside a jail plus a 10 hour commute. Any info provided would be awesome. Thanks Matt
