What should new RE agents consider when choosing a broker company

[Mia Chatman]

I am ready to apply for my Indiana real estate license and I just wanted to ask what would be some of the considering factors when choosing who to have hold your license?

Whats the difference between being a licensed real estate agent and a wholesaler. Is a license really nessicary these days to make money in real estate or is it just a means to have access to the MLS?

I know a few people getting paid nicely just to wholesale and work mainly from assignment contracts. Some times its just in the wording of the contact where they are just getting a couple of thousand for a 'Marketing fee' or just charge an 'assignment fee' Is this illegal? 

I am getting a license because ive passed the broker course and state exam but I have to put it with a company and i dont know really what to consider with how brokers come up with commission splits. 

HELP :)

Thanks!
