Answer 1

Lets just put it this way - every accountant can be a real estate agent if they wanted to be (and/or had the aptitude for the job) after they finished their four-year bachelor's degree and get a Real Estate license. However after a student graduated from a program in Real Estate and received a Real Estate license, they cannot become a certifide public accountant (CPA). I hope that helps you with your decision.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

A loaded question for sure but here's the answer(s).
1. A college Degree does not guarantee you a job, but a BS is better than an AS .
2. If you can afford to do so, just concentrate on your studies and get it done & over with. However, it would help you alot if you did volunteer work in an area of accounting to give you some experience. A 2 yr college I think is cheaper than a 4 yr college, especially if it is a Community college. You may want to apply for scholarships and or financial aid if you can.
The difference between an accountant and a Real estate agent: Accountants sit and calculate numbers having to do with businesses.
Can be mundane and boring.
A RE agent travels and shows homes to prospective buyers. They do the research and try to sell sell sell the home for a commision.

Answer 3

To really get a good job as an accountant, you will need to go through a 4 or 5 year program and then sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam.

Getting a real estate license is considerably quicker, and you can do this in 2 years or less. To be licensed you have to take a test, too, but it is much easier than the CPA exam

As for the differences between the 2 jobs - an accountant will be more readily hired and make more money right away... starting $60,000- $100,000 right away depending on where you are and how well you did in school. You'll sit at a desk all day, working with numbers. A real estate agent's income is completely dependent on selling - you are definitely going to have to improve your english unless you want to work exclusively in your ethnic community. The harder you work and the better you are at this job, the more you can make, but the money will come in cycles.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE GO TO A SCHOOL THAT REQUIRES YOU LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
