Real Estate license if not planning on being a realtor?

[Seth Michael Carp]

This summer I would have ample time to work on getting my real estate license and have been considering doing so. I plan to use the license to save on realtor fees and get access to the MLS for house hacking that I will be starting in my sophomore year of college, (still a high school senior). I've heard some people on the forums say that getting your license is a waste of time if your not going to become a realtor and that working instead of getting my license may be a better use of my time to raise capital. I'd appreciate any advice.
