Connecticut real estate salesperson newbie advice

Ironically last night I signed up for my real estate agents course. Then after I was done I checked my email for the confirmation letter, what do I find. My email was telling me Allison from bigger pockets just tweeted a few stories. One being 6 reasons not to get your real estate license. Hmmm. So this sort of lit a fire in me to seek out more opinions, tips and advice for someone new getting into real estate sales. I am looking to hopefully do a career change and wasn't just looking to use it for investing. So I felt the article from bigger pockets was more geared towards investors thinking about getting a real estate license to help them invest, I would be getting into real estate sales because I actually want a career change. It could be a bridge job between my current one and what I plan for farther down the road. Or I may like it more than I think I do and never quit, who knows. But I know education on any topic is one of the best way to master something. So any agent that was part time and went full time I would especially like to hear from you but any advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help.

@Jeffrey VanGilder.  I would be willing to have coffee with you and share my experience. My office is in Granby, and I started part time in 2005, and worked my way out of corporate america. Reach out when you are ready.
