Many real estate agents along their career paths go in to somewhat of a cruise mentality when it comes to continuing education. There is a fundamental reason
Why reading, taking classes, and certifications are so important.
That is, because no one can ever take it away from you.
Designations, licenses, certifications, multiple degrees, cross training in different areas, technology skills, etc. all make you a very valuable YOU in the marketplace not only individually but also to your family. You should not look at education as a grind, but new kinds of exploring and adventure. Take it with a sense of wonder. All subjects will not appeal to you of course, but keep trying many of them.
The second tip beyond no one taking away what you earned is COMPLETE a program. Don't be one who just takes classes but if you want a degree or an advanced degree, GET IT. Want to be a Broker? Get it. Want a Staging certification? Get it. Want to also sell insurance? Get licensed. The world is yours for the taking once properly trained. You can NEVER get too much education.
Enjoy learning. It really polishes up that great mind that we all knew you had all along.
Be a lifelong learner. Then you can turn around and teach others.
