Where can I find meeting for RE that I (16yr old) can sit in on?

[Jason Raynor]

I would love to attend some meetings and see how real estate works first hand so I can take notes and learn as much as I can before I'm old enough to get my RE license. I live in the middle of NC and I'd also like to find a way to be a bird dogger in my area so I can make side money while gaining experience. How do I start this and where can I find/meet people and places for this?
