I ended up changing my mind on going to teach English in South Korea so I am stuck here still waiting tables with a bachelors degree in history...and am definitely looking for a full time job (real job, but nothing against my fellow servers out there that make their living doing so). Anyway's I went on to Prudential's website and took the Core Capacities Index exam also known as the CCI. Evidently my scores matched those of some of their top sellers so they set up an interview/meeting with me and I ended up meeting with the manager lady today.
Anyway, I went in there and we really hit it off (no, not like that, this lady is pushing 60 easily 
) and ended up chatting and everything for 1.5 hours 
lol. But I guess that is a good thing...well it was a good thing. She ended up telling me how she would be interested in having me to be apart of the Prudential team yadayadayada...she gave me a bunch of info on where to go to school/course offerings in my area where to get my real estate license. She said as soon as I registered to call her back and she would have me back for a tour of the office and to meet some of the other agents and to even sit in on some of her course seminars or whatever that she does in the office occasionally. She claimed that I seem to have a natural personality for the real estate business, etc. and that she thinks that I could really make a decent living doing so.

So, now I am more than intrigued by her confidence in me and excited about the possibility of becoming a real estate agent. I am 24, single, no kids, no serious expenses or real commitments of any sort...I guess I am trying to figure out if this is actually worth pursuing, I am a waiter right now and looking for an actual damn career. I looked up the class in my area and it starts August 9th and runs 2 months and it is Tuesdays and Thursdays either 8am-12pm or 6pm-10pm. SO not that big of a commitment/interference with my life. Any of you guys taken this pre-licensing course? Is it difficult? Oh and the cost of the course is $425 and then there is a $500 membership fee to join the Realtor's Committee or Association once I actually complete the course and am ready to get in to actually being an agent.
SO the ultimate question is...have any of you guys taken the course? If so, please explain it to me...and for you guys actually into real estate how would you describe the lifestyle? How is the income? (Yes, I know it is a very up and down game). Thanks guys and any recommendations/tips you guys have are greatly appreciated 
Like I said, I am young, single, no kids, and am driven looking for a steady career to keep me busy and motivated and looking to earn a decent living and have no serious expenses at this time. Thanks a bunch guys, I really appreciate your input and time!
