Yes, I have been warned that it is a field full of sharks and to be careful. Socially, I am a dud - it's my weakest area. My last career - as a legal assistant - was also full of sharks and I've had many bad experiences. My goal is to be a leasing agent in a luxury apartment building. By coincidence, I will be temping this weekend in a leasing office. The other option is to transition to being a real estate paralegal and to handle closings. I would prefer the former. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. I really don't have too much interest in real estate but I don't know what else to do. The only other option is to return to college for a B.A. (I have an A.A.S.)
