Im a senior in high school with a 3.0.and want to be a real estate agent. I need the steps to reach this goal.

I don’t know very much about college even though I am almost 3 quarters way through my senior year. I also have not taken the ACT but plan to within the next month.I have some money put away for college so that really isn’t a problem, but finding the right college is.

You don’t need a degree to be a real estate agent. You just need to be able to pass a test (usually a state exam–depends where you live–for example, in California, contact the Department of Real Estate). To prepare for the test, you can take a real estate prep course through someone like 21st Century. If you take it through them and pass the test, then it is a bit easier to get a job with them.

But I would go to college first and take classes related to something you feel passionate about. If your passion is to make money, then take finance classes. You can always be a real estate agent after college. You could even work part-time and go to school part-time.

Follow your heart.
