Career Change Opportunity

[Kevin C.]

Hey everyone,

Currently I work for a plastic display company and have developed carpal tunnel and tendinitis in both hands due to continuous repetitive motion. I am going through the L and I process and have a work assessment appt this week. There is a very high chance they will deem me unable to continue this kind of work and then I will be eligible for retraining. I was wondering what may be a good field in real estate to get tained in. So far I have considered either home inspection or even appraisal. What are your thoughts or ideas?

@Kevin C.  Hi Kevin. The real estate industry offers numerous career opportunities. The best thing about real estate is that you can choose any field that is of interest to you. In your post you mentioned home inspection and appraisal.  It seems to me that you are interested in these areas and may want to explore further. 

On this site you can get a lot of information by reading blogs and visiting different forums. There truly is a wealth of information here. 

No one can decide for you which area of real estate to hang your hat, nor should they. This is your decision and your choice to make. The BP community is here to help you gain knowledge and inspire you to act on what you learn. 

Best of luck in your new career. I for one would love to know what you ultimately decide to do.   Everyone in real estate can use the services of an appraiser and a home inspector.
