you need to go to a real estate class and get your license

…Really, it depends on what direction you want to go.

Get your license first, then if you want you can go to college. When I got my license, the company I was going to work for paid my tuition. I was really gung-ho during those classes, did really great on my tests, and absolutely HATED the job once I really started.
The knowledge you get in real estate school will be valuable later in life when you go to buy property yourself. I paid ollege tuition by selling a few houses each year. I worked really hard during the summer, and made a lot more than if I was working 20 hours a week at minimum wage the whole year.

I’d recommend finding an industry that’s not in the hole under the outhouse. Now would be an incredibly difficult time to get into the business.

A crowbar? Battering ram?
Seriously, your local or state real estate trade group can provide the best information. Industry is regulated on a State level. Start there, consider carefully, big ticket items are the first to slow and last to restart in recession!

This seems like the worst time to get into real estate. I think a college education can be more flexible in the future, it is required for many of the best jobs out there. You can always take the real estate license courses on the side, and take the exam. However, I would think the college education will get you ahead in any career, including real estate.

If you’re certain that you want to work in sales in a commission career, yes, go to a university or college, but it may be wise to spend a little time in a real estate office if you can.

If you just want your salesperson license, just take the required courses in order to get it.
To get a brokers license you usually need saleperson license and a couple of years of experience or a 4 year degree.
For college, in your really into the real estate business then go for a degree in real estate. A real estate degree is really rare and very few colleges offer it. A lot of school offer degrees in Land use but its generally not very useful to get a real estate degree. IF you want to do it that way get a minor in it.
