Accreditation

Licensing is a necessary evil in some industries. Before you get a license, make sure you like the work first. 

Getting an accreditation of some sort as an exploratory journey is a fool's errand...

Any license you get in real estate centers around memorizing the penalties for doing stupid things… Then you get tested and voila, you’re licensed… It doesn't actually teach you anything about how to be successful but instead highlights what happens to you if you don't comply. 

This makes the accreditation useless if you aren’t willing to do what it takes to be awesome. Find someone that IS awesome and work for them for a season. Then, if it’s a “hell yes I love this”, go get your license. Chances are you’ll be WAY ahead of your classmates.
