Originally, I started trying to get a license in California because I lived there, but the class I was in for Principles and Practices ended up being the worst possible class ever because the teacher was completely useless (he literally spent 99% of the time talking about how great it was to be a broker and how he's a broker in 3 states and how most of us would fail at being a real estate professional).

I got a college degree in business and a broker license in 1980.
