| <h2>What is my dream job and why did I choose it?</h2>
|
| <p>
|
| My dream job is to become a real estate agent. I chose this career because it is something I can realistically
|
| see myself doing long-term and continuing to grow in throughout my life. Real estate offers flexibility,
|
| independence, and strong earning potential.
|
| </p>
|
| <p>
|
| I am especially interested in selling homes, managing rental properties such as Airbnb listings, and eventually
|
| buying, renovating, and flipping homes. I have already started taking steps toward this career by beginning a
|
| real estate licensing course, which I plan to complete before graduating.

| <section id="salary">
|
| <h2>Typical salary & advancement</h2>
|
| <p>
|
| Real estate income often depends on <strong>commission</strong>, so pay varies by location, experience,
|
| and number of sales. Successful agents can earn a strong income as they build their reputation and referrals.
|
| </p>
|
| <p>
|
| <strong>Advancement opportunities:</strong> becoming a broker, specializing (luxury/commercial),
|
| opening a firm, property management, and real estate investing.
