As a software engineer, I can say that almost all Realtors work harder and longer than I do. My job isn’t really hard work. It can be stressful, and it requires a good chunk of prerequisite knowledge, but it is not ‘hard work’.
I think you have the wrong idea of what hard work is. Go do some construction, landscaping, retail, or work in a kitchen/restaurant if you really want to see hard work.
Oh, I don’t give a crap about the realtors. I’m just not a fan of STEM being placed above other fields when it’s inaccessible to people without either having been born into money or taking on substantial debts.
It’s just what came to mind. Teachers, trades, technicians, whatever. Realtor takes like a couple week course or something.
And in case people misread me, yes I think there should be good jobs without post secondary. Realtors are excessive and they fight to keep their effective monopoly and effective collusion.
JFC it’s hard work in the sense that most jobs are hard work. But it’s not hard work like engineering, tech, etc.

There’s complicated (hard) work, and there’s physically demanding (hard) work. Realtor is neither.
A little privileged there to be specifying jobs that require tens of thousands of dollars of education as a prerequisite, no?
Dude that’s half the point. Realtors are paid so much and it doesn’t even require/take much. I never thought I’d expect people defending realtors.

Imagine thinking that engineering is hard work. Go learn a science, dude.
