Witness Protection Program. Hey, we're running out of reasons for this often repeated and I feel meaningless question. Ask your professor. He or she is obviously a genius to think of these questions.

As a real estate investor for a decade, I realized that a lot of Realtors didn't know how to work with investors. So, I became licensed. Ironically, I work with more first time buyers than investors. They're more fun.

Just when I thought this question could not be asked in a more stupid way than it has a thousand times before. First of all it would have been what motivated me, not motivates me to become. Secondly, if you receive the answer of motivation, therein lies the why. Better study hard and stay off ActiveRain until you pass the State exam, that is IF you do.

I was a teacher, and they had too many vacations FOR ME!!  

and once I had a taste of the money that could be made, it was no brainer.... I like the money...I'll say it...

also, some people are fine to work with and others are a PITA.... and that's putting it nicely.... so it's never because I like people.... you'll have days when you hate them...
