I came across these statistics by the National Association of Realtors about REALTORS®. I rated myself compared to the REALTORS® to see where I stack up compared to everyone else. What do you think about yourselves?
REALTORS® Statistics
Hours worked by all REALTORS® (nationwide): 40 per week
Gross personal income by hours worked: $63,000 (median for 40-59 hrs.)

I will say I am surprised. The average Realtor used to sell 6 homes a year. I remember gasping at meetings when I heard that. CRS agents has typically been reported at 3 - 4%, ABR as 3%, and no GRI or SRES are reported here. This is encouraging because it means agents are getting education to help them with their profession.
