It's amazing how many people try to get in the real estate business and just fall off. I started with 3 other people under the age of 21,one couldn't passes the initial class exam,another couldn't pass the state exam & the third signed with the same broker as me then joined the Air Force....

good for you. Once you get into I'm sure you will learn that the big money in that field is not selling the properties but getting others the cash to buy them and building them. But learning all aspects of the field is a great way to start at a young age.
My friend skipped college (bad move but claims she's postponing it) and is working in a commerical mortgage broker's office where they help small business obtain business loans. For a 19 year old she seems to already know more about business (the ones that fail and the ones that succeed) than most people twice her age. Her boss is a mutant but everyone that works for him seems to be making six figure salaries so they put up with it. I guess if she's going to miss out on keg stands she's at least learning somethign useful.
