Can you be in the field without a license?
I want to become a real estate agent one day, however I don’t plan on going back to school anytime soon and would like to get experience to see if it really what I want to pursue. Does anyone know of any job titles I can apply for to put my foot in the door? Update: I do not need you to tell me to just take the course online, if I wanted to I would, I asked the question for a reason.
