Rookie looking for advice

So I am a college student interested in purchasing real estate within the next 2 years as I have a job coming up. I'm familiarizing myself with my market, understanding terminology, and overall learning. I am open to buying a good deal, with my parents help, if it crosses my path but I want to better understand the process; I want to make offers weekly just to see how the numbers work but I am not sure how a real estate would react to sending 2-3 offers weekly to a college student who doesn't have an official pre-approval, (although I have used better.com and amerisave.com to see what i qualify for using a soft pull on credit), nor a full time job just yet.

Does anyone have any advice? Should i bother reaching out to a real estate agent regardless of my situation? Should I stick to reading and learning more until I get a job?

Thank you for any input
