My major is Business Administration with a concentration in Real Estate/Finance. This is something I would like to seriously pursue, however the market at the moment from my understanding is not great right now. What are the things I should consider before making this move that is, where to start?? I also would like to eventually branch off and start my own establishment either in the Chicago or Memphis area. Any experienced brokers/agents with great advice would be extremely helpful.

I graduated with honors, I did an internship at Prudential Financial, and have references from previous managers, professors and personal friends. I can’t find a job. I have been on a handful of interviews that are begun with the explanation that their is not an open position but they would like to meet me now in case something opens up.

I am running out of time to wait. My apartment lease is up on Monday and I don’t have any family in the area. My friends have offered to help me out for awhile but I would feel terrible having to live off their charity for very long. I started about a month ago to look for bill-paying jobs such as a bartender, or waiter, even a retail job but have been met with resistance. I am running out of option and am not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Greg
