I knew there are a lots of people who wanted to work as agent just because they thought they could get commission through a large number deal, but after the first year of agent and they quit.One of our teacher (a broker) told us, generally they helped around 300-400 students a year to get the license, but there're 3-5 will really work as agent in the first year, and 2-3 agent will remain in the second year, those are the people who will work as agent as career.In CA over 500K people hold a license.

There is no better teacher and confidence builder than trying it out for yourself.

It's probably the way the business has been described and illustrated to you, how you were taught to do business and it's the teachers I have a problem with.

I'm looking into a few different options of ways to purchase a home once I get around to buying my first one late next year, and one of the more attractive opportunities is a state program for teachers who are teaching in-demand subjects in transitional/priority (read: poor) districts, which is what I believe I'll be doing in a year's time.There are a lot of incentives, but the only big drawback seems to be that in "some cases" (super vague, can't dig up too much more) if you sell the home within 9 years and make capital gains, you can be charged what sounds to be a pretty hefty federal tax.

I’m a licensed agent in East central Florida as well as a HS teacher.

We highly recommend J Scott's 'Estimating Rehab Costs' book to get you educated but experience is the best teacher. 

So, who wants to recommend a TOPIC and a TEACHER?

I was going to let you guys have the last words, but the teacher in me suggests I should share it so others can benefit so here it goes ;)If history is any indication, rents and housing prices tend to rise first followed by interest rates.

As they say experience is the best teacher.
