Real estate agent. I am at a cross roads in my life making what is the toughest decision of my life. I graduated with my associates degree from a community college and was accepted as a transfer student to go to George Washington U in D.C. I haven’t been packaged for financial aid but I am expecting the debt to be pretty substantial. I’d say upwards of 100k … Is banking on becoming a Real Estate agent and having zero debt a better idea? Seems like a job I’d enjoy doing as I’ve done a lot of sales in the past.

Or would you say it is a dead end career? Meaning a max 35-50k with no growth? If I can make 70 - 100k after a few years of experience I would be happy.
