So today my 9year old daughter said "I always knew when I grew up I'd be a House Seller, but today I figured out how much work it is. I'd rather work at Zoo America and clean up POOP." WHAT?!?!?!
OK, I realize I put in a lot of hours, get stressed every now and again and Hello-some days I make WAY too little money.... Not to mention how many times I would seriously like to smack some other agent upside the head for just being--well--a pain in my rear. And the sleepless nights! Does she hear me typing at 1am? Yikes!
But, despite all this, I thought I was enjoying this being a real estate agent. How could she not see how much fun meeting new people is and how truly exuberant I am when one of my clients (who often become friends) finds the perfect home and actually gets to call it theirs. And the learning, I just can't get enough info into this brain of mine! There's the mandatory continuing ed requirements, but so much information that goes through the real estate network on a daily basis, I just can't keep up. But try I do!
Perhaps it's this lifelong learning that bothers her so much. She can't be done with school quick enough, which has it's problems since she still has 81/2 more years to go. I look at it as though I still have about 50 (or hopefully more!) years of learning ahead of me.
Once she realizes that life is all about continual learning, maybe she'll have a change of heart. Hmmm. Well, if that doesn't do it maybe taking a little trip to Disney in October will (courtesy of the real estate earnings, of course!). We will, however, have to bring the homework along--both hers and mine!
