W-2 Jobs for knowledge

[Eric Abel]

Hey there BP Community! I would love some suggestions and advice. I have been on my real estate investing journey for about a year and a half. So far, I've obtained my buy and hold rental property, a duplex I'm house-hacking.  I've also been wholesaling for about 9 months with some success but nothing I could live off of. In the next month, I will also have my Realtor's License. As I approach Spring I must make a decision. Either, I stay at the well-paying paving job I've had for the last 3 years, "burn my boats" and fully lean into my Realty/wholesaling business, or find a new W-2 job that will provide knowledge/skills that will benefit me in the Real Estate world. I am not asking anyone to make the decision for me. I would like to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and what you did. I am also interested in hearing job suggestions that would benefit me later on in my real estate career.
