Default I\'m actually qualified to respond here

1. I did exactly this. It takes a certain type of person to do this and make a lot of money. If you're not that type of person you're one of the 80% turnovers.

2. I'm pissed ElDbeat me to the Glengarry quotes, so I'm just going to let it pass.

3. Stay out of this market. PM haakee. he will tell you why the peripheral jobs surrounding the housing marked are F'ed.

Basically, most people take these jobs because they get wide eyed at the possibilities. But end the end, the market is flooded with competition, and unless you have 1. You're own personal game (something the company can't give you) and 2. 80+ hour work week freakish drive (I'm talking RE agent slapping herself in American Beaty and listening to self helps tapes) you will sink instead of swim.

The top dogs earn 200K. you won't be able to do this for 5 years, and as an above average candidate (I'm giving you a little OOT props credit here) I still think you have about a 1-2% chance of ever reaching that level.

Stay the [censored] away from this job.
