Want to be a Real Estate Agent assistant...

[Clark Sugabo]

So I'm a newbie in Real Estate Investing and Real Estate in general, my current focus is to get out of my fast food job and get into a job related to real estate.  While I need to work a job to live, I would much rather be in a job where I can immerse myself in the industry while also building great connections.

I went to a few Real Estate firms with my resume in hand just asking if anybody would like an assistant, or somebody to do data entry or anything.  A few pushed me to try and work for my Real Estate License.

Is it worth it to get my license?  I don't want to be an agent, I simply want to immerse myself in real estate investing.  Any thoughts?

Or any tips from  a real estate agent on the best way to approach for an assistant?  What is it that you look for when hiring for help?  Any help at all is appreciated!
