New investor situation,

[Karac Davis]

37 years old. Wife has a good job we can live solely on her salary. My job pays 80k. We can utilize my income for investing avenues. 
If I really want to Brrrr and build retirement wealth in 10 years for us is it worth it keep my job for 80k (can’t really make more it in, not much growth potential)?   Or would it be more worth it to get out and focus full-time on being a “real estate professional” and brrrr full time. I’m handy but I’m not a contractor. I feel like I don’t know enough. I also don’t want to keep my job 50 hours a week and also spend another 20-40 hours a week on investing too. 
Should I work for a mentor for a couple years and save money from that and then brrrr when I learn the ins and outs?
