[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should couple this with a finance degree so she can open her own lending company.

Reality can be hard to pay your bills because it's feast or famine.  When I waited tables, there were plenty of young relators doing it too because they needed steady income to weather the down times.[/quote]

I don't know why people assume it's a girl! It's my ds. [b]I am concerned because as this thread shows people look down on realtors as morons[/b]. He is a smart kid, very enterprising, has a job and a self-employed gig on top of it. I think it would theoretically suit him, but I do worry about prospects as well.[/quote]

This could be because they know people who "dabble" in it as a part-time gig.  I know a number of formerly SAHMs whose kids get into HS and suddenly they "in real estate".  But they also seem to never be working much.  But of course that's only part of the story.

If he's interested in it, why not?  I get it, I have a son who sounds very similar.  People-person, entrepreneur-focused, worked in sales over the summer last year and loved it.  He's not the 9-5 desk job type and needs something where his pay is dependent on his hustle.  That said, I've always insisted on a college degree.  He's in his 3rd year as a business major, and who knows where he'll land.  But he'll have his degree and that should open up options.[/quote]
