How do people become Letting Agents?

Walking back from Tesco's the other day, I saw this pomegranate-looking sign, that made me feel quite dizzy, which read: Want to be a Leeds letting agents ? Sell cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/teethwhitening.html

My first thoughts were: “I don't live in Leeds. And, why would I want to be a letting agent in Leeds?” Never mind Leeds, why would I want to be a letting agent? I am quite happy in our family business baking bread. How do people become Letting Agents? I wondered. Do they go to business school? I've not thought about business school.

Walking into my uncle's bakery with the “emergency” packet of yeast, I asked: “Uncle Benjie, do you think I could do business school?” Uncle Benjie said: “You hear that, Sara, little Mac here wants to go to business school when he grows up.” Giving it more thought while watching Aunty Sara roll the dough, I said to them both: “I want to go to business school to learn how we can stop running out of yeast, and how to set up my own bakery one day.”

With that, a flying ball of dough hit me on the head. Uncle Benjie roared: “Help Aunty Sara, otherwise you'll be running out with the yeast!”
