FIREFIGHTERS! they have an amazing job and amazing bodies. A sales proffesional would be the least attractive. They just annoy me like crazy!
I dont know of any offhand. Normally you need to be an agent from 2-3 years. A college degree doesnt superceed this.
Although California has some strange rules I would check there first. Ill check around.
***update***
CA is 2 years
New York is 2 years
Why dont you just say these are the possible states and list 2 or 3 or something. IT would be easier to answer this question.
you must be 18 to open an account PERIOD, that is the Law. You can, however, open up an UGMA (unified gift to minors account) with a parent as a Custodian, and then at a designated age, between 18-25, the account becomes yours. Every brokerage firm can and will set up and account in this manner. Good luck!

Not that I've been able to find… I've been looking too
I'm a consumer, that has always prided myself on knowledge and being a responsible Home Owner. However, here in Oklahoma, Responsibility, Ethics and Integrity seem to be an outdated philosophy, (heck, I don't think they even realize what the words mean).
Guess what? If you get a bad house here, and the chances of you doing that are extremely high, (contractors don't have to be licensed to build), Home Warranties Don't work, Attorneys are paid to look the other way, Home Inspectors that are paid by the Buyer, but, Actually have their allengience to the Seller & their agent, Escrow Companies steal your closing costs, but don't do the work, so, after the sale, the new homeowners get stuck paying back taxes for the previous owner, and or the commission for their agent, because the Listing agent keeps the whole amount, minus kick backs to the escrow companies, home inspectors and many of the so-called contractors that are supposed to make repairs BEFORE you close the deal..
And, you can't look to the Real Estate Commission to do anything about it, because most of the board members own Real Estate Schools and, or, are so entrenched in the corruption, that they won't stop it….
I'm so fed up with this state, that I want to scream out loud…..
Any suggestions?
