Laid Off Today

So I joined this sight earlier this week and I have found a lot of good information, and have decided I was going to start with wholesaling, and eventually transitioning into other avenues of income. I was going to wait a few months and give this all a try, but have considered in the last few hours since being laid off that right now may be a possibility to attempt this.

So with what little knowledge I do have would you recommend attempting this or should I find a job, and learn much more before attempting this?

@Christopher Rogers There is 2 ways to go about this situation. First if you have a loving spouse that can support you then by all means jump into bird dogging for someone and explain to then that you have all this time and willing to do the leg work to bring them some deals. Attend your local REIA meeting and find the big players and ask what do they buy and where do they buy. Second if you not have a bank account to show on the positive side then get on down to the unemployment office to get some kind of income coming in until you can get a job back in the same field of get on down to McDonald's for the time being.
