Tag Archives: Real Estate

After 5 years of being a low-level corporate drone (though making a decent salary), I decided I was ready for a change. My husband and I bought a house in a new state and both got part-time jobs, while working on our real estate licenses. Just recently, my husband accepted an outside sales job that will give him the stability of a full-time job, but the flexibility of a part-time job. I haven’t been so lucky. Today I was offered a chance at a full-time job. I’m confused about whether or not to accept it. I have another 3 months before I have to start chipping away at my nest egg & the real estate exam is in August. I’d like to keep working part-time until I take the exam, but what if I don’t pass it? Plus there is still the matter of actually finding a job with a broker and even then, sales are not guaranteed. Jobs in my field are limited out here so I’m afraid to pass up the opportunity. However, when I left my last job, I swore to never return to the rat race. What would you do?
