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 am unsure if I want to do commercial or residential

I really want to get experience in real estate, but people usually get hired if they have a bachelors or masters degree. I really want to do this and I got a ton of books from the library Im going to read. Is there a way to get experience so I can get into property managment without a formal education? Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
