Real Estate?

I live in Chicago IL, I'm thinking about going into real estate as a new career. Is the pay for real estate high and is it a good career move.

1. Real Estate what? Sales person? Appraiser? Inspector? The pay is different. But if you want to go into sales - the market is real slow right now, so the money are not that good. But things change.
2. It all depends what you do. If you are talking about an agent, it all depends how good you are. Some can make 5,000 a year some can make 300,000 a year.
3. All depends on the type of person you are. Basically, in Real Estate you get what you put into it. If you want to work very little you get very little in return. Hard work in your first few years are crucial. Take 2 - 3 years and focus only on work. It can be a fun and rewarding career. Cheers, Steve Winters http://www.realestatestjohns.ca
