    The path to a successful real estate (RE) career can sometimes be a winding road that can be cultivated by unusual work experiences, circuitous education journeys, and unexpected personal networks.
    In this exciting student-oriented program, we will highlight the differences of 'traditional vs nontraditional' paths of developing a career in real estate - regardless of your professional starting point.  We will also focus on expanding students’ awareness of career opportunities that are available - but may not be very apparent - that can prepare young professionals for a career in the RE industry.
