Interesting article,
Highlights that many people getting into the industry do it because they share my view, that Real Estate Agents are too expensive. And they hope they can get rich quick. unfortunately there just is not enough work in Canada for 100,000 realtors.

Like you said, I think allot of people don't realize the costs of doing business themselves.
The one thing I would counter is that when running a home business, if you are doing it right you should pay far less tax then the rest of us. There are allot of opportunities for reasonable right-offs. It just that you have to pay the tax on your own, its not deducted for you.
If my employment agreement says I earn $65K then I get $50K. That's the way it works, we all pay tax.
