Reflection

Brian Lamb, a real estate agent, did my interview, and I also interviewed my mom. Brian Lamb is a manager in his real estate office, and he has one of the highest positions in his company, and my mom was a sales rep for Yellow Pages. What I found interesting is that real estate agents are their own boss, and they choose how much they make, and what I found interesting about sales representatives is that they are usually on the go meeting new people and it is a fun but hard job. My best question was “Describe the average day as a realtor/ sales representative.” What surprised me is that you only need high school and college to head into this field, and that there are few requirements for the two jobs. What disappointed me is that in real estate you must work odd and long hours, usually 7 days a week.  

I feel okay about the two careers, but I am leaning more towards real estate. I am still not sure if I even want to pursue a career in the business/financial field, as there are so many opportunities out there and I need more time to think about what I want.
