The end of year countdown is officially on. The countdown to summer. And to the long summer holidays. For some, the countdown to the end of school. Forever. If that’s you, and you’re in that awkward position of being unsure where to next, you’re in the right place. There are so many different pathways for school leavers these days - university, trades, or diving straight into work. We’re here to raise the flag for real estate. An often overlooked career path by school leavers, but one that in fact delivers on so many fronts.
Why choose a real estate career path?
Real estate really is one of those industries that offers a variety of work types to suit different personalities, skillsets and goals. If you need convincing, just take a look at all these benefits:
Earn while you learn. Yup, no large debt piling up while you’re head down studying. Real estate is flexible so you can earn and learn at the same time.
Rapid career progression. If you’ve got the right attitude, and chase those property sales job opportunities, the sky’s your limit.
No major entry barriers. To get started on a real estate career path, all you need is a Registration Certificate which is the entry-level qualification. You can achieve this with flexible, self-paced learning within 6 months.
Broad career scope. The real estate industry is broad, with a variety of roles to suit your lifestyle, interests and goals. Think property sales job opportunities, property management, marketing, business development, corporate support and more.
Real estate agent success story.
It’s easy for us to talk about flexible, self-paced learning and success at the end. But we know it’s better if you can hear directly from someone who’s been through it all and has come out the other side (spoiler alert: they loved it).
Just like anything new, you’ll have ups and downs. There will be aspects of learning that you’ll love, and others which aren’t your favourite. But if you’re motivated, can self-manage and love flexible learning then you’ll enjoy Property Training Australia’s online real estate training courses.
Our advice to school leavers considering a property sales career:
Be open-minded. Don’t start out with one key real estate career path in mind. As you work your way through the learning and registration process, you’ll better understand the variety of property sales job opportunities out there. As you learn more about the industry, you can narrow down the pathway you think will suit you.
Seek out industry experience. Whether it’s shadowing a friendly real estate agent for a day or having a coffee with a property development project manager, getting to know the ins and outs of the industry and the different roles out there direct from the people who live it, will give you invaluable knowledge and experience.
Remember why you’re doing this. This isn’t school. Your English teacher isn’t breathing down your neck to make sure your assignment is in on time. You’re responsible for shaping your future. Take control and steer your life in the direction that’s right for you.
