Being a Real Estate agent FT or PT?

Hello Everyone, I am somewhat new to the bigger pockets realm and to real estate in general. I have purchased a few books on how to invest in multi family units (however this is for the future...) and some other books... I am looking to dive into the realm of real estate and I want to flip homes and also purchase out of state units ( I live in California and the market is high that is why I think flipping is best here). What I wanted to ask is. 1) Is there anyone doing real estate on the side? Somewhat as a hybrid job? If so, what is your personal experience like? Are you successful in doing in part time? Why aren't you doing it FT? 2) What is your experience in being a real estate agent and what are the realities vs the expectations? 

Thank you for your time and your responses! Any feedback and advice will help!

Licensed RE agent. Part time sales, part time management, part time rehabber, part time acquisition manager, part time garbage man, part time handyman, part time odd job man. Yeah, I do a little bit of everything...it adds up to a full time job I guess!
