After 7 years in the real estate industry maybe it is time for a change. It’s not that I’m tired of being a Realtor; in fact I have really enjoyed it. It is a very rewarding feeling to help people when they make the biggest investment they will ever make. It is also a “feel good” job when you help somebody negotiate the best deal when either buying or selling a home. And you really can’t argue that the financial rewards are phenomenal if you work hard. Of course we are talking about commission sales here, so there is the potential of completely starving if you don’t find clients. The biggest problem for me in that regards currently is the economy and the (I hate to use this word) collapse of the real estate market.
Needless to say, I have had a lot of free time. That of course has meant I have had a lot of time to enjoy my favorite pastime: golf. It seems I have traded in my dress shirt and tie for a Greg Norman polo shirt! And it was in that shirt that I came up with the idea of a career change that might just work for me.
So after giving it much thought, and waffling back and forth a bit, I think I’m going to go to golf school. Now I’m not talking about a school where they teach you how to play the game, but instead one where they teach me to teach golf. Imagine that, me in a professional golf career.
