I'm thinking of studying to be a certified appraiser but having second thoughts whether it's worth it.

For the most part, you need an appraisal when someone buys a house,someone sells a house,someone gets a divorce,someone dies,someone files bankruptcy,someone refinances.I'm sure there are other reasons, but these are the main ones I deal with. I work around 60 hours a week and could work more. The number of appraisers is dropping in the US and it will be getting busier for us. I love my job and wish I would have done it years ago.

Despite a market slowdown, an appraiser can still make good income because while sales may be down refinances are booming. Appraisers not only appraise property in sales but also in refinances.

Appraisers will always be needed even in slow markets. Appraisals are needed in all kinds of situations. Refinances, resolving estate issues, sales, damages... the list goes on.

every business line has ups and downs, with market trends: a shrewd move would be to choose a line that suits your aptitude, and have some 'side business' to support the main line in days of 'downs' in the main line: choose in such a way that both the main line and side line are not simultaneously affected adversely! in other words, don't put all your eggs in the same basket!
