College Student Real Estate Agent

I’m a 22 year old college student at the University of Arkansas and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors in Finance with a concentration in Real Estate. I work for a local Real Estate company as an assistant to the founder by helping him find investment properties and he said that he wants me to get my license now.

I would continue to work for my boss 15 hours a week (he’s very flexible so I can put in my 15 hours whenever) and I’d work 25+ on my personal stuff. I only have one afternoon class from like 3 to 4 twice a week. I’m just trying to figure out whether or not it’s worth it for me to get my license at this point.

I’m super driven, have good soft skills, understand real estate relatively well (have tons to learn), I’m just concerned that my age will be a barrier and that I won’t get a good shot in my last semester to make a sale.

I will likely be moving after this semester to another city, but would it still be worth it to get my license and try to make a sale or two while I’m still here?

Thanks for any feedback!!
