"Best Job" for the Future : A Real Estate Agent
U.S. News and World Report lists “real estate agent” as one of the country’s best jobs in 2012, at least
sort of.
While sales agent appeared nowhere on its main list of hottest jobs in the nation, it did appear as No. 19 on a side list of “business” jobs — and the article took pains to make sure readers understood the difference between a “real estate broker” and a “real estate agent.” Real estate broker was not listed as a good job.
The magazine quoted Labor Department statistics, which suggest there will be a 12.2 percent growth in the number of agents needed over the next decade.
It placed the median wage of sales agents at $40,030, while noting that the top 10 percent of agents can make as much as $95,200. The best job across all professions was “registered nurse.”
