I have same situation you have, in order to understand what do you want in life try to know yourself. Example list down what skills you have now then try to apply it on things your enjoying right now let say writing:blogging.

I am a real estate agent and I think it’s a wonderful career choice. If you have self determination, love working with people, think it’s fun to show houses and don’t want a regular 9-5 job, you will love it too.

I don’t know what state you are in, but in California you are required to have three classes and then pass a test that is different from the three classes you take. So you have to study hard for the test, which is like taking an extra class.

One wonderful thing about real estate is that you can choose how many clients you want to work with. If you work a lot, you can make a good living. Or you can do it part time while you continue to go to school and your real estate income will help you get through college.

I don’t think real estate is ever too risky to get into if you are self motivated. Even in a bad market, there are people who still want to buy and sell and they are looking for an agent who cares about their needs and will do whatever it takes to make their real estate sale go as smoothly as possible. If you like that idea, go for it.

First of you need to be a very responsible and honest person. Yes, it is risky but just be confidant. You have to read a lot about the industry. To have to always be aware of what’s going on in real estate. You have to always read the papers and magazines. You have to have a good memory and you have to be self-motivated and assertive.
You have to take real estate courses, general business and accounting courses.
Hey, don’t worry there are tons of careers in real estate, you can be an admin in a real estate office, work for a bank, be a salesperson or an agent, or you can be an assistant.
There is also commercial real estate and residential real estate. Look into your options you don’t have to be a salesperson or a broker.
There is also mortgage banking which is linked to real estate. Homeowner’s insurance you can combine insurance and real estate. There are tons of things you can do. if you enjoy it you will be successful.

This is what I would say to you. At age 15 the only thing that you should be thinking about right now is continuing your education so that you can get a degree in business and then begin a career in Real Estate. Who knows, you never know, you may just change your mind and decide on doing something else.

Right now it’s a horrible career choice, but by the time you’re ready, who knows. You need to be disciplined, to save money rather than spending everything you have. You don’t get regular weekly paychecks, only when you sell a house. So you need a budget and need to stick to it. You need to track your expenses because you are an independent contractor, and your file as self-employed in income taxes.
