At a cross road in my life at the moment. I am 20 years old and live in NYC. The market is tuff but getting better here. My dilemma is I do not know if I want to go to college or go and get my real estate license and start my career. I attended a year at community college already. I would have to spend at least 3-4 more years to achieve a bachelors degree. My question should I forget school and take this 3-4 years and put them towards progressing my career as a real estate agent. If I go to college I plan on a career in marketing or management. Any suggestions or ideas?
In my opinion I say get your real estates license then go back to college. You can always do real estate part time and its a good thing to have to fall back on, but so is college. I've been in your shoes. I have been through nursing aid training and security training to get a good job. I currently do security. I am 21 university student. I went to community college graduated and now I have 1 more year left at the university. It gets tiring and fraustrating and expensive trust me I know. But what motivates me is my girl friend I'd like to have a family someday and I need a good job to take care of a family and the best way I believe to get a good job is through college. Don't give and envision the end and you'll be fine
