CT commercial realtors- need some advice!

Hey guys! Per the description, I am currently trying to figure out if residential or commercial real estate would be a better fit for me. I worked  in buying at a high end department store for the past few years, so I am highly analytical and numbers driven. I think I would do well in this regard because I know it takes out the emotions. However, I don’t know a single realtor in the commercial real estate world. I have been interviewing mostly residential brokers, and one did tell me that there is more money in residential than commercial. I have some friends and family connections that are interesting in buying/selling residential property within the next few years, and I’d love to help them, but would I be able to do that successfully if I give the commercial world all my time and energy? Also, I am a young woman and was wondering if there are other young women in this business I could talk to?  No offense to the men but it does seem to be pretty male dominated :) If anyone has any advice to offer please do let me know! I’d love to connect. Thanks!
