Real Estate License vs Broker

I'd like to gain access to the MLS and be able to purchase and sell property myself. What are the advantages and/or drawbacks of being a Real Estate Agent vs Real Estate Broker? Is being an agent enough?

You'll have to be an agent for 2-3 years before you can qualify to become a broker, which isn't necessary at all, and not worth it just for your own deals.
