Why are there so many scams everywhere?

Hello everyone, Let me explain my frustration. I have been avoiding a full time W2 9-5 desk job in order to focus on strengthening my RE knowledge. Now that I have my finance degree, and tons of carpentry and labor oriented work under my belt, I started looking for small reliable real estate companies to apply to. Why does it seem like literally EVERY RE job opportunity out there is for hounds people like myself to ‘learn our super easy system’ ‘we have cracked the code to RE and wealth’ ‘we want to help people find their dream home’. Essentially all the advertisements seem like cry’s for help from RE brokerages that want young people to do all their dirty work. I have absolutely no interest in that. Is that just part of the RE ladder or am I doing the right thing in staying away from those types of jobs. I want to be employed where I’m getting paid for the value that I bring to the table. Not for how much value and suck out of consumers pockets and shove into whichever RE Investor was lucky enough to ‘hire’ me. Thanks for your help BP, Tom
