Default Re: real estate career vs. financial planner

Real estate is toxic and will be for a few years. No point in starting out a in career in a sector that is going to suck for the foreseeable future.

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.
