What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate or graduate student might consider?
At the bottom end, it's really an analyst position. An analyst is essentially a high-level assistant to whatever team they're on.
For example, in a brokerage where people buy and sell houses, you might be an analyst assisting the broker in closing deals. This could involve calling clients, collecting documents, helping analyze deals, or running financials. It's about learning the ins and outs of the business before moving up.
From there, you can go into sales, represent the company, or even become a broker yourself. Another entry point is a real estate agent. That's not a traditional job with a W2 payment; it's all commission, and you're essentially starting your own business.
However, that's a popular way to enter the industry and gain access to resources.
