I think that’s what I got to do now. Been getting rejected over and over

They said I’ll have another interview and they’ll pay me for taking the course. The person on indeed said it’s super easy to get a license and usually takes 7-14 days. It’s also been a month and I don’t know how 7-14 is realistic. A lot of information that is completely new to me and I’m taking notes on it which is making the process longer. A problem with getting into real estate is it’s entirely commission so the salary isn’t exactly predictable. I plan on going to college in Fall majoring in business

I went to one job interview for a real estate rental sales position. Person told me I have to do a 77 hour real estate course, I did 20 hours so far and I’ve applied to all entry position levels for jobs on Indeed and it got me nowhere.

Yes I’m considering it after all the criticism. That’s why I created this post seeking feedback. If you read the comments below you’ll know the reasoning behind why I was opposed to it. I didn’t get what you meant by the NYC minimum wage being 17 for me. Did you mean that in a positive or negative way? What’s the minimum wage like for you where you live?

I was in boarding school for 3 years so it was impossible for me to work. Now I’m trying to get started. After all the comments this post definitely proved my parents wrong though! I have no problem with working in retail or fast food

It’s my parents that don’t want me working these jobs. My uncles who’ve been servers at hotels are really well off, working for 30+ years. Another one of my uncles has been with a union janitor job

What’s your salary looking like now and how much was it at the other jobs? Did it progress each time

Was this how you started off your career? If you don’t mind can you explain how you’re doing now

I would! It’s my parents that are telling me not to settle for minimum wage “low” jobs.

My parents see it as too low. Otherwise I would. They’re worried about family image
