Real Estate Career!!

I passed my exam back on the 9th of August and now I am just waiting for the Department of Real Estate... DRE to send me the packet so that I can apply for my license!  I HATE WAITING!!! I really want to start working Real Estate! There is so much potential for me there but I can not tap into it until I start, part of me is frustrated because a clerical error pushed me back by over a month.  Century 21 wants me to attend a class 12-5 for 1 week.  There is only one problem with that, I work 230-8 and obviously can not be in 2 places at once.  I do not get anymore vacation time until after 9/25 but then it does not matter because the rest of the year is either full or blacked out for vacations.  That means if they do not let me start without taking that class then I can not start until next year. That would totally suck because I originally planned on starting in July.  Then due to clerical error that changed to September, and now it might be pushed back to January!!! I want to start!!  Well I am expecting a phone call from Century 21 today, so I will find out for sure if I can start as soon as I officially get my license! Wish me luck!!
