Full Time Employee Wanting to Start in Real Estate

Topeka, KS

I just recently attended real-estate school and am now studying to set a date to take my license exam. My question is has anyone made a complete career change to real-estate and how was it and what advice would you have on going about dealing with the career change but most important the change in the income especially at first.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
