velvett- It's technically a finance major w/ concentration in RE, I would go commercial if I decided to be an agent/broker one day. I always told myself I would rather work for myself (ie RE sales or brokerage) than work for a corporation but lately I'm getting lured by higher profile corporate finance jobs in NYC. Of course, the firm I'm working for this summer has an office in NYC and they specialize I believe in large scale office leases. They are Colliers ABR, and a couple of their agents pulled in million dollar commissions a year ago with one deal.
You live in the city? When you worked in RE was it in the city or in surrounding counties? I'm curious how you found the work, people, and setting.
