What is the path to investment?

[Kevin Lammers]

As a college freshman, and a massive student loan to repay, all signs point to playing it safe, working a steady summer job if an internship is unavailable, and holding off on investing. But, I am HUNGRY. I want to get a head start on investing, and I am looking for some guidance on how to begin. I want to have a plan, and for the past year, I have told myself countless times that law school is my destination, and working as a real estate attorney is my occupation. However, I am struggling to determine a few things. Would you advise going to law school immediately after college, or would working for a few years prior to applying be beneficial? If working is the better alternative, from an investment perspective, in what field would you recommend seeking a job? Also, is law school even the best route to take? Any and every recommendation is appreciated.
