Thats a great idea, Lemon65, I would recommend the training CESHOP.com and wait until there is a 40% off sale before you purchase the prelicense package. I have had some terrible software programs on other websites for prelicensing, this one is better because each page is not on a timer, I would sit there reading the same page a hundred times waiting for timer to stop each minuite to change the page. so annoying. and if you walked away, it logged off after a few minites and you would have to re log in, so go with CESHOP.com.   also, you have to do continuing hours each year, check your state for how many.  I am a licensed contractor, so I am my own boss.  try to pick a brokerage that fits your personality, extravert/ introvert, how much floor time that you want, how much is expected of you.  also, there is a book that has all the answers to the final tests, let me know when you get to the test taking time and Ill try to find out the name.  Check out the commision split at each brokerage, I chose one with a 50/50 split so I dont have to pay desk rent or do floor time, and I make my own hours and hardley ever go to the office. its worth it for the freedom and I think I make more money out in the field.
