Is 16 years old to early to be an intern at a brokerage?

[Ryan P. Kotschedoff]

Hello BP, 

I turn 16 years old in the next couple of months and I am really into becoming a real estate agent/broker in a couple of years, but i don't know if 16 years old is to early to shadow a broker or agent. For the last year or so I have read multiple business books (specifically real estate related) and I have been studying real estate intensely on youtube etc. for the last year so. I now know the basics of investing in real estate and how to be a good well rounded agent (the only thing I have invested in is stocks and crypto currency so far). I really enjoy real estate and I love working hard at it so I'm anxious for an internship. I feel like I have invested enough time in myself to take the next step and see what it is really like in the real estate agent world. Let me know if you think its to early to get a real estate mentor at a brokerage, or if its a good idea to start early. Thanks for your time.

Also do you think becoming a residential real estate agent is a bad career to get into in the next couple of years due to the technological advances, making agents more obsolete?
