I am a year out of college and thinking about getting into real estate appraisal. I have had a hard time finding jobs in my field and thought that this might be a good career to get into. I live in NC and am getting ready to take my first appraisal principles class at a community college. A few questions on getting started:
1. Is real estate appraisal a good field to get into as a young, just out of college person?
2. Is this a field that is growing and has good potential in the future?
3. What is a range of money that I would make as a trainee?
4. About how long do you stay a trainee?
5. Can you get started in commercial property or do you have to start in residential first?
Any advice would be helpful, as I am deciding if this is a field that I want to get into. The things that are drawing me to this field are: being able to get out of the office and looking at different properties often, working with and meeting new people, potential to own my own business, having some control and working a flexible schedule. Are these good assumptions?
