During the two years of the pandemic, there were so many people who lost their jobs.
One of those people was my daughter Mia who had just graduated from college and began her career.
She was so devastated as this was her first real job where she was able to start her life as an adult. After she lost her job, she tried to find a new job but of course, most companies weren’t hiring during that time. Unfortunately, she went through a period where she barely wanted to get out of bed. I felt bad for her, and I tried to help the best way I could. I asked her to move back home so that she could have the support she needed. Thankfully, she agreed, and it was during that time, she decided to get her real estate license and become a real estate agent. I knew that to become a real estate agent you needed to take a class as well as a test, but I didn’t know the process was as easy as it was. Typically, to complete the licensing process, it would take between 2 to 3 months in our state, but Mia was able to finish the entire process in 6 weeks. She was so excited because on average real estate agents make about $70,000 in our state. That is a lot more money than what she was making from her old job, so this was a new start for her and hopefully a very lucrative career. For now, she is working under a real estate broker and will do that for a couple of years. Her plan is to eventually become a real estate broker one day.
