    JFC it’s hard work in the sense that most jobs are hard work. But it’s not hard work like engineering, tech, etc.

      A little privileged there to be specifying jobs that require tens of thousands of dollars of education as a prerequisite, no?

        Dude that’s half the point. Realtors are paid so much and it doesn’t even require/take much. I never thought I’d expect people defending realtors.

          Oh, I don’t give a crap about the realtors. I’m just not a fan of STEM being placed above other fields when it’s inaccessible to people without either having been born into money or taking on substantial debts.

      As a software engineer, I can say that almost all Realtors work harder and longer than I do. My job isn’t really hard work. It can be stressful, and it requires a good chunk of prerequisite knowledge, but it is not ‘hard work’.

      I think you have the wrong idea of what hard work is. Go do some construction, landscaping, retail, or work in a kitchen/restaurant if you really want to see hard work.

        There’s complicated (hard) work, and there’s physically demanding (hard) work. Realtor is neither.
