Is it worth it to become a travel agent if I book my own travel (hotels) for my business trips, book my familie's travel plans for their vacations, etc?

How does one get to become an official travel agent, are there tests, certifications, or simply nothing at all required (doubt it). How do you obtain commissions, etc from booking with hotels, airlines, etc.
