Starting over again- A years ago I was doing very well for myself trading small cap stocks. I thought I was on top of the world. I did not think I was going to have to work for someone else ever again.I was thrilled. It felt amazing. But soon enough everything came crashing down. I did not diversify and the stock I was heavy into was sent to the grey sheets from the SEC. My shares nearly became worthless. Really hard to deal with. But I picked myself up and got pizza delivery jobs and then recently a management job at a dealership which I no longer have. But you cant give up. Failure builds character.

So, I am looking to dive into something new. I want to learn the real estate business and make money while doing so. I just finished the Real estate classes. Now to my question. Is it smart to become a RE agent and Loan officer? I figure agents typically sell during the weekend and Loan offers sell during the day. So I can learn both aspects of the business while making bank. Bad idea or no?


The other option is get into commercial real estate and forget the Loan officer stuff. I know none of this is fastlane but It will get me back on my feet so I can move on to bigger and better things like Real estate investing/ developing. I do not want to deliver pizza anymore! If I have to play slowlane for now I want to be learning something of value while doing so. I am a young guy and I choose to leave college.All of the people I look up to dropped out. So why should I stay? I figure this could be a real hands on learning experience.

I picked up a sales job. Commission only. I wanted to put myself in a sink or swim situation. Learn the skill of sales or go broke. I start tomorrow. 9-5ers have told me I am stupid for taking a job with no base pay. But I feel this will be great and I will learn a skill. It will teach me to go out and get it or do without. It is about developing the mindset of a lion. You have to be independent. Nobody in this world owes you anything. Once you figure that out I think things change.
