To stay in my career or become a real estate agent

[Kujtim Beganaj]

I am currently a warehouse supervisor. I have been doing it for a coupe of years after graduating from college and they pay is okay. Currently I have another opportunity to switch companies and receive a $14K increase on my salary. The pay is where I would like to be but it is not exactly the career I would like to do long term.

I have been considering becoming a real estate agent ( taking the online courses at the moment). I think this will get me into the field and provide me the experience and skill set needed to become a successful real estate investor long term. I believe I have two options, option 1: keep my current job and transition into becoming a real estate agent within the next year or option 2: switch companies to make more money (also warehouse supervisor position), save the extra money and learn the real estate investment business as I go?
