JOB..

Got to jobs (well interviews) but im not really sure what sort of career i want lol they are totally different. One is to be an estate agent (junior position) and the other a junior IT support technician. I find IT relatively easy and enjoy it but i dont know if i will get bored of fitting out office equipment and remote work etc, where as estate agent is something new and different to me and would get to see different houses different locations, commision. Just trying to weigh up the options. Is there anyone out there that is in either of these careers that could shine some light on what the good and bad sides are or there opinions. Cheers

im an estate agents its a wicked job. your never sat in the office all day always out and about which is good. you get to see loads of different propertys learn the area and can make big money if you sell or let a lot. what sort of company is it big or independent?

[mattchewone]

Its relatively small and is looking to expand in the near future i believe so there is prospects to moving up in the company and always to another bigger company. What are the people like do you still get bastard customers that are just unahppy and horrible like you do in retail?

[seat-craig]

well you can do but the only people who have the right to shout at you are the landlords and vendors because they are paying you and theyre your client. i would definately go for it and if they expand you could be a manager in a year or so. what area are you in?

estate agent sounds like the better even though im going to college to become an it technian lol. what sorta qualifications/grades do you need to be an estate agent?

Dude, try a few different things, if you dont like one you can always apply and get another job WHILE your still in your current (given notice).

I myself went through loads of different options and routes (being in the I.T field) but found my desired role as a software analyst. :)

Well i dont think i need anything as i will do on job training and get and NVQ. Well my manager at where i work now is moving to be an estate agent and the boss is employing new people so my manager is offering me an interview and will put it in a good word ( i hope lol). Will be West Sussex.
