Certificate vs License

What’s the difference between having a certificate in real estate vs having a license ? I was planning to get my certificate first and then the license eventually, but is it even worth to go for certificate first ? Or should i just get my license ?

@Keith Sagun for state licensing purposes there is no such thing as a certificate. You are either licensed or not. If you want to be a real estate agent get licensed and start the learning process. 

Do not come in with the expectation that the money is going to be falling all over you. It takes a lot of hard work and mistakes but income potential is only limited by your ability to learn new skills and put in the work.
