Your on your own
If you want to make it in real estate, become financially independent, escape the crappy rat race, you know that will give way to automation, outsourcing, you know the static existence universities, colleges, and politicians have conditioned us to believe will continue to exist forever? No one is going to hold your hand and help you make it in real estate or life. You will struggle on your own. I have taken a crappy job just to avoid the social stigma of being unemployed, no thrive, not even to financially tread water, just to earn 1/2 of the money I need to survive.
I promise myself before I die, I will succeed, no matter what. Good luck to us both.

Man, get over your pity party!! What is it that you want in life? If you are not tied down to family then you can go anywhere in the country. There is more out there than what you are experiencing.
