In early 1995 I met my husband who had just started a real estate company.  I was self-employed at the time running a Business Support company.  While we dated I learned alot about real estate and as instrumental in the marketing and administrative end of the business. Once we got married he talked me into becoming a Realtor.  And now I'm glad he did.  I Love being a REALTOR.

Was a loan officer at a Savings & Loan. A broker I did business with said I could make more money and have more time to myself. I was attending law school at night and thought it was a good idea!
