To be honest, you need to put the time in. If you thought you would become a top seller without building your clientele without pouring into the effort of building those relationships I'm anxious to hear why you would go this route. Any realtor builds trust with their sellers and buyers. Invest in your career and your dedication will follow. Your want to help with your siblings is admirable but will do better investing in yourself now to be able to help your family in the future. It will payoff and your mother will continue to be proud of you!

You are not responsible for your mother or your siblings.
Helping out is one thing, admirable, burying yourself, another.
Don't give up a job just to "help out at home" because it won't help your career.

Do you want to be in real estate as a profession, or did you take the job because you wanted to start working and build up your resume? If you want a career in real estate, it's going to take a few years to build up your skills and income level. If not, think about what kind of job/career you do want and find out what it takes (degrees, certs, on the job training, etc.) to get into that field. If you need to find a higher paying job to help you save money, do so while you figure out your long term career plan. Your mother's issues aren't yours, so don't take them on. It's not your job to support your whole family. Put together a budget of your expenses (food, transportation, savings, personal bills/debts, etc.) and see what you can comfortably give to your mother to cover your room and board each month and stick to that amount. Consider moving out - even with a roommate or two - to put some distance between you and your family. Sounds like you need it. It's good that you want to help out, but not at the expense of your own needs and your own future. Take care of yourself first.

Excellent advise!

I can understand wanting to help out your family. If the working environment is not great, then I would look for another position elsewhere. Reach out to your school and see if anyone there can help. They usually have a career services department to help graduates find a job. Good luck.
