A high schooler's future path...?
what's up guys! i'm a senior in high school and as of right now, i'm studying how to invest in properties, and i'm also a day trader.
BUT i have no idea what my future job will be. i do know that real estate investing will be something i'll commit to in my future. even though i'd like to stick to day trading and REI, i know that i should get a job in the future.
Being young and about to graduate high school, what would you guys say about me becoming a real estate agent while in community college. this is not for the money at all; i just wanna learn about real estate from an agents perspective while making some connections.
while i'm not sure if this will become a job of mine years after graduating college, this is something i'm thinking about. what do you guys think? would you do the same if you were my age?

@Account Closed - making yourself available and willing to learn is a fantastic start. For me, I would have a high school intern do a lot of door drops for me. Dropping off Comparative Market Analyses for homeowners, dropping off gifts for past clients. If you are comfortable on the phone, you could be used an ISA to try to get appointments set. It seems like you have an A+ attitude and willingness t learn and any local agent or team would be lucky to have you. Good luck!
