Is a new construction sales agent a good idea?

Hello, I am hoping to get my broker's license soon and was looking for opinions on whether it's a good idea to start out selling new construction. To me, it seems like this would be an excellent 1-2 year crash course to learn the "nuts and bolts" of the industry for a variety of reasons. Do you think this is a good way to get started? What are the drawbacks vs. a more traditional agent? Are new construction projects likely to hire someone with no industry experience? Thanks in advance for your insightful answers!

@Karen Margrave - If you work for a new construction project specifically (as in I am an agent for XYZ development) then it would be no, you can't do listings or whatnot. If your broker happened to be affiliated with a project without becoming the project broker then you would be able to do listings, sales, etc.
