P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Hi-- My name is Marcia Schwartz and I'm an office manager for a real estate company. An office manager brings people into the business and helps them launch their career. And then as people buy houses, I help the agents. I help their own clients along. Well, a typical day is I do come to the office every day during the week, Monday through Friday. But inside the office, there's lots of varied things that happen. We conduct sales meetings. We have guest speakers. We have webinars that teach us how to do our jobs better. And I also go out and see all the new properties that's the sellers have brought in for our agents to help them sell. Well, I've been in real estate about 25 years. And I've actually been a manager for about 20 of those years. I didn't start out in real estate. When I graduated college, I was actually a first and second grade teacher in Chicago, Illinois. And when I moved to California, I actually came out here to go to law school. When I stopped going to law school, I found real estate. So the nice thing about real estate is you can get started in it any time during your life. Well, I think one of the things that I've learned since I was in school is that the sky is really open. It's unlimited, especially for women nowadays. And real estate in particular is a very welcoming field. If you have decided to do other things, you can always begin your real estate career. But one of the things I think is important is that you really love what you're doing. That you don't feel like, oh my gosh, darn it, I have to go to work. And one of the things about real estate is people think it's all about houses, and of course there's a lot about houses, but it's really about people. Do you enjoy people? Do you welcome them into your life? Are you interested in their well being? Do you have any part of you that wants to serve them in one way or another? And so when I do talk to people coming into real estate in particular, I like to hear that they like people. That's a good thing.
