Hi Everyone,
Great forum. I am a 19 year old guy. I started out my life working at a grocery store, then moved to doing asphalt work (both jobs combined lasted less than 6 months). I then decided that hourly work sucked (especially at a pay rate of $6.85/hour). I moved into selling construction door to door when I was 16 and I was quickly making very good money for a 16 year old. The year I turned 17 I made somewhere in the 30,000 range after taxes. Last year I started a new carreer in real estate as a real estate agent. I am on track to make right around $50,000 after taxes this year (which I would like to be higher, but it takes time to build a business). I currently have around $40,000 in cash in the bank (saving for house but will begin investing soon). I really love the sales business and hope that when the market stabilizes, my hard work will pay off. Any advice for a young guy would be awesome!!
