    I’m not here to argue with you, rather than to point out it’s disingenious to say it’s not hard work. Also, there is actually an incentive to get lower prices, for if they weren’t trying to get one people would choose another realtor. Also, you don’t have to censor the world realtor.

      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.

              It’s just what came to mind. Teachers, trades, technicians, whatever. Realtor takes like a couple week course or something.

              And in case people misread me, yes I think there should be good jobs without post secondary. Realtors are excessive and they fight to keep their effective monopoly and effective collusion.

        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.
