Q:My girlfriend is set on being a real estate agent after high school. She has always said that she doesn't want to go to college because she doesn't want to go into debt when she doesn't need to. She thinks that you don't need a degree to be competitive as a real estate agent. Is this in correct? And if she would be better off with a degree, what should she major in? I thought Real Estate would be the obvious one, but it doesn't seem like it's a degree widely offered in schools that aren't giving it online. Would something like a degree in advertising be better?

Even if you do not need a degree to become a real estate agent it's best to have a degree in business or finance or real estate. It will be your edge and weapon against a great number of real estate competitors. You'll have a good foundation, knowledge as well as training that will offer you greater career opportunities in real estate.

Q:how to proceed for a career in real estate consulting(appraisal,investment,brokerag... would an MBA degree helpI have degree in architecture

I am a Commercial Real Estate Appraiser and I get compensated for my time as a consultant. I have a B.A. in Business and have been in the industry for over 5 years and have taken numerous appraisal classes, tests etc. Clients will not deal with you unless they know you are an expert . I personally feel that an MBA will look good in front of clients but they will not hire you if that's all you have with no real world experience. In my opinion you should get a job with a consultant firm and if you chose obtain an MBA in the process.

Real Estate Sales is completely commissioned. If you are selling you're making money. Some Real Estate Sales people in New York City have made HUGE money, others are scraping along. In Real Estate more than other sales, you MUST have connections. So, if you have connections (relatives, college friends, etc.) who live in affluent neighborhoods and know people they can connect you with, you'll do fine. If you are a nobody in the city, you'll be scraping along with rentals in Queens. In New York more than anything you gotta have chutzpah, moxie, connections and intelligence. Got one or two? You get bupkis.

But i am sure bouncing cheques is only a small part of it.
