Need a Part-Time College Job?
There is no question about it, attending college just keeps getting more and more expensive. Between tuition, housing, books, a car payment and any other bills you may be required to pay, there is hardly any money left to spend on yourself or even put in the bank.
Don't get stuck in a minimum wage job performing grunt work when you can be easily putting your ambition and drive to better use! Working as a real estate agent makes a great part time job for college students. You are your own boss, so you have the freedom to schedule meetings and appointments around your classes. There is no rule that says you have to work x amount of hours per week, you dont even have to go into your brokerage office if you don't want to. You will have more scheduling flexibility than you could ever imagine.
As a real estate agent you will have the opportunity to live an entrepreneurial lifestyle where you are paid on a results basis. Most jobs today will pay you the same hourly wage regardless of how hard you work or how dedicated you are to your profession. With a career in real estate you will be in charge of your income.
If you need some extra spending money for spring break, simply get out there and close a few deals! Most brokerages pay there agents around 2-3% of each deal they close. Close a deal on a single family home for $399,000, and earn yourself a comission of over $10,000! The best part is you are in control of how many deals you close.
The income potential of a real estate agent is limitless! There is no cap on how much money you can make, it is all determined by how much work you are willing to put in and the proper training.
A career in real estate doesn't just stop at helping people buy and sell homes, you may also choose to work with office buildings, industrial property and farmland. Property management, land development, mortgage banking, urban planning, real estate counseling, appraisal and research are many of the other career choices in the field of real estate.
