Re: real estate career vs. financial planner
If you are talking about becoming a RE agent, I would consider doing something else for awhile. You could get a job and do that on the side if you want. The reason is that the market is very tough right now, and you will have to fight to get clients. Also I don't think that 6% commissions are here to stay. In 10-20 years real estate could be substantially different if the MLS/NAR monopoly breaks down.
If you weren't talking about becoming an agent, then disregard. Perhaps commercial real estate offers better options.
