Answer 1

You could do almost any major, but any that helps you deal with people more effectively would be good.  

I'm sure you already know that most states require a real estate agent to complete a series of courses to become licensed.  You'd want to check on the rules for that in the state you're interested in.

It might be a good idea to talk with a practicing real estate agent or two to get some insight into what's involved re education.  Call a couple of agencies and ask whether someone might be interested in talking with you.  Or go to an "open house" and chat with the agent there - the worst that can happen is he or she could brush you off.  [Take a parent or other adult with you!]

Good luck to you.
