I think (getting licensed to) providing expert advice to people that have the problem of "too much money" will remain a very solid skill for as long as progressive taxes will be levied to the "rich".

First, I'm not a typical real estate agent (I only represent my own deals), and I certainly don't deal with multi-million dollar properties, so this is just an opinion...I'm guessing that much of what they portray on that show is true enough, but the important thing to remember is that they only portray the most interesting and exciting 1% of what those agents do.For example, for every $400K "snap of the fingers" commission they show, they ignore the 20 deals that don't materialize, even after the agent spends lot of time and money wooing the client and marketing the deal.I'm sure the top agents are driving $100K cars (hell, I know some very unsuccessful agents who drive $60K cars), spend their time shmoozing over expensive lunches and have ultra-rich buyers who are happy to make offers site-unseen, but this doesn't reflect the other 15 hours/day where the agents are cold calling, dealing with tire-kickers, getting fired by unreasonable sellers, and spending money on banal marketing campaigns that don't generate any leads.Just my guess...

I also suggest reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

I have read literally every book Rich Dad/Poor Dad book there ever was.

Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan come to mind when I think of small and efficient governments.

Either of those, people can THINK people from the BIG town nearby are rich,dont need the money,and are to be taken advantage of!!!

my wife spotted a sign that said "real estate investors seek students part time ###-####" i'll be calling that tomorrow to follow up.I'd guess this is a recruiter for Noveau Riche.
