22 Year-Old Prospective Agent

Hello everyone, I'm Andrew, and I have a few thoughts and questions for you all.

First off, I am currently a college student studying Political Science with about 2 semesters remaining until I obtain my Bachelor's Degree. I am not particularly fond of college and am unsure that I even want a career pertaining to Political Science.

Now on to Real Estate: I am interested in Real Estate and a possible career in RE, and I am contemplating putting my degree on hold in order to take the necessary courses to become a licensed agent (I live in California). My dilemma is that I am currently looking for a job that will benefit me and allow me to learn a few things as opposed to an entry-level type job somewhere. Also, due to the fact that I was a college athlete up until this point, I have very little earnings saved as I had virtually no time to work. 

My main question to you all would be, should I postpone completing my degree in order to pursue Real Estate? My studies in University do not interest me all that much and a career in Political Science in not very enticing to me. Also, should I take any job I can find in order to earn and save money? Or search for a job that can teach me skills more applicable to Real Estate.

Thanks for reading!
