Friend of mine was an agent at one of the Big Three. He represented gaming companies. I asked him how many deals he'd done in the past year. "One," he said. He was always jumpy. I commiserated with him. How many would he do this year? "All I need is one," he said.

The last client he'd landed was Bungie.

An old girlfriend is a real estate agent.

In Marin County, CA.

I haven't seen her sell any place for less than $1.5m.

In my head, I make sure to keep that sale price number locked in a mental room far, far away from the formula that calculates a real estate agent's commission, because I really just don't wanna know...

She sells a house every 6 weeks or so.

If it make you feel any better her take home cut is probably closer to 1-1.5%. Still not a bad living but not the 3% that she charges as a bunch of it goes to the firm she works for.

She and her mom own the real estate agency...
