I think a degree in Business Management would be better.  A class in finance and econ wouldnt hurt, but focusing on either of those wouldnt help in real estate.  The best way to find out is to talk to an advisor at the univeristy.  They'll know the best way to go for what u want to do.  good luck

Um...well, considering the market in real estate lately, I would not recommend it at all.  If you want something stable, do not go into real estate.  However, the courses are inexpensive.  I know of one community college in Ohio that does provide financial aid.  The courses are short, too.  You can get the courses done in a matter of months.  If you live in Ohio, contact me and I will tell you the info.  However, the chances of you living in Ohio close to the community college where I live is slim to none.  I would suggest looking into community colleges near you.  Again, if you are looking to improve the lives of your children.  Do not go into real estate.  There are other alternatives, but they may take longer than a few months.  The pain, I believe, is worth the gain.  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Bad idea. That is what I have and never helped me with getting jobs. Better to specialize somewhat but still keep is somewhat broad like a BA or BS in Business, economics, etc.. Employers seem to like that better I have found.

Hell yeah.\n\nMasters of architecture.  Trying to change carreers and i'm either over educated or don't have enough experience.  All the companies are looking for 20-somethings to exploit.  I have no idea what i'm going to do.  Might have to move into mom's basement.\n\nI wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to waste my time and money with that damn master's degree.

Just keep applying. No one can grant it except the university, and that choice is made by people looking at what qualifications you have to enter the program.

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.

Classes to prepare for the regional real estate license exams are usually not academic courses.  Some community colleges might offer them, but I've never heard of a real estate major.  I've heard of law students taking real estate law, or business students taking a class related to real estate, but to become a real estate agent, there are non-academic studies (even available online).  The contents for a real estate exam are very simple for most college-level students or above.  The skills necessary to become a real estate agent are sales and more sales.  Real estate agent pay is usually 100% commission.  So if you don't sell, you don't get paid.  I'd recommend to your friend to get her degree since it is already paid for, and take the real estate exam on the side.  In the summers, she may want to try to work for a realtor and see how she likes it.  She could turn out to be a natural at sales and make millions, or she may not like it at all, but she can still fall back on her college education.

It all depends, I recommend you do a property search on Zillow.com which will give you comparable sales in the area. I live in Tampa and the comps vary signifigantly.. If you need any assistance please drop me a line Jcorreahq@yahoo.com \n\n\n~Joseph Correa\nLicensed Mortgage Broker

I looked into becoming a realtor a while ago, I'm a SAHM so it sounded good.  Hours wise, its pretty flexible in that you decide how many you want to work, how many clients to take on.   Depending on your financial need, you might just need to sell one house a month.  But what I found out (which is why I couldn't do it) is that it's a lot of start up costs.  You have to pay for the training (usually given through a real estate company), pay for your testing, pay for your licensing and to be on Realtor Boards.  Plus there are annual dues for being on the Realtor boards (which is required by most real estate places).  So here, start up was going to cost about $1700.  But if you can swing that, its really flexible in that you decide how much you want to take on.  But, keep in mind that most open houses are on the weekends, and that most people like to go see homes on the weekends or after THEY get off work.  So it might not be a real scheduled job for you, just flexible in how much you want to take on.  Money wise, its like 7% that you get.  So whatever the sold house goes for, you get 7% of it (in Michigan anyway).  So the money can be very good.

Each state has different laws regarding real estate.\n\nThere are several courses, colleges, and universities within each state that provide correspondence courses.\n\nReal estate is a broad category and unless you plan on moving to the United States, it is difficult (not impossible though) to practice some of the forms of it overseas.\n\nI know Kaplan has courses for different careers in real estate in different states.  It really depends on what you want to do and where you will be living.\n\nPlease clarify what your future plans/goals are for a better answer.

Hi,\n\nEvery state will have different education and test requirements.  You will need to look online for each state's Dept. of Real Estate.  That will tell you what you will need to do.\n\nI used the Anthony Schools online real estate education courses.  You can check to see if they have one in your state.  Otherwise, some real estate agancies will allow you to take classes through their firm and then reimburse your fees after your first transaction.  You will need to call around to find out.\n\nMost states will have education requirements to include along with your state exam.  However, you may be able to use some of your college courses as substitutes (ie.  I had a business degree and was able to transfer some).  Check with them.\n\nYes, you can do real estate part time, depending on the firm.\n\nIf you still want to know some pros and cons about the real estate industry, read this real life job experience from a Realtor in CA:\n\nhttp://www.jobpodge.com/jobTestimonial.php?jobIndex=44&_real_estate_agent\n\nGood luck!

Even if you don't have a degree and a job you want to apply for requires one, you can still get the job. I know someone who applied for the job of an accountant position for a business even though the individual did not have a degree in anything. He got the position because he answered a math question correctly during the interview. The math question...9x9=?   Also, you could start your own business. You can make things to sell, or even sell items for companies for commission. If you want to create your own business, focus on your exact talents. If you are artistic, create murals for money, or if you are good at interior design, market your ideas to new home owners and businesses. If you know that you want to manage a business, look into companies that will train you. For example, Lowes and Home depot train assistant managers. And you could even go to college. You can get enough in student loans to live on while you are in school. The key to success is persuverance and hard work. I know what I'm talking about. I began flipping houses 6 years ago, at the age of 22. I started small, getting a loan on a house for 13,000 and then living in it while I fixed it up. After I sold it, I used the money to buy the next house and so on. The house I'm working on now should net me a return of about 100,000. I do all the work myself. It's great to look back and see what you achieve with hard work. You can do that, too. Set a goal and a deadline in which to achieve it. Follow your goals and make sure that whatever you do you will be happy in that line of work. Remember, it's always better to be poor and happy than to be rich and miserable. I wish you the best of luck. You can contact me if you need any other info on the things I listed.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Check with a real estate lawyer.

I had the same problem.  Apply to a number of schools.  From those that accept you, pick the one with the best reputation and/or the greatest variety of majors.  Once you get there, take many different classes to figure out what you like.  \n\nStaying away from the very expensive schools is a good idea, unless you have a career in mind and only the expensive ones offer the right major.\n\nSpeak to your school's guidance or college counselor for extra help.\n\nGood luck!

You should check with the real estate commission. You might need to retake the classes if too much time passed. \n\nIf you don't have to take the classes again, buy the books from your local real estate school that they use for classes and study. I had a disk I used to take practice exams. I'm in Pa.\n\nGood luck!
