<human>: I'm a recent UCSC grad with a BA in Anthro. That's not really going to get me anywhere, so I'm looking into other fields. With that 4 year degree, I can skip a couple steps to becoming a real estate broker, but I'm not sure that's what I want. I'm taking real estate classes now, both for my own knowledge of the home buying process as well as a potential career move. But I think I'm much more excited about the prospect of building and/or redesigning homes for people and making them exactly what they want than actually finding them for them and selling them to them. I get unnecessarily stoked about new building materials, techniques, etc. and read about that sort of thing in my spare time, and am thinking that's a good indication that I'd enjoy working in an environment where that was the point. Should I stick with real estate and get licensed in that, or take the classes for my own knowledge, add on classes for contracting licensing and take THAT test? Thanks!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I'm currently a real estate student but find contracting more exciting. Tips and personal experiences would be helpful and greatly appreciated!
