Should I continue pursuing a cert of go full real estate?

[Steven Palmer]

So I work as a retail associate right now and am currently studying for the A+ cert(a cert that shows I know how to work computers.)  I can use that to hopefully get a bit better of a job(then continue to Network+ cert which will hopefully land me something better with a bit of on the job experience.)

While I do enjoy computers a bit I don't see myself enjoying it enough to go through with it even though the money will be a bit better.  I have been thinking of just quitting my current job and going in deep with real estate as I have an inheritance coming shortly to live off of for a bit.  

I can actually see myself really getting into real estate as it can provide more freedom for me and I feel I will actually be of more use to people whether they be investors or people looking for a home.  Going with the cert route(and real estate on the side) would be safer but would feel more soul crushing to me.  I don't want to have to have a job where I cannot set my own hours and wages anymore and want to get out of the regular job life asap.

So what this boils down to is do I play it safe or do I go all the way?
