What real estate profession for me?

Waylen Herdman

Currently I'm 22 living at home with my father and siblings. My overarching goal is to gain financial freedom through rental properties but that's many years in the making. I currently work for a Mosquito Repellent company making decent hourly ($17/hr) but working in the sun with pesticides for 9+ hours isn't all that fun, I know, shocking! Anyways, I'm highly motivated to find an RE job, something that could potentially help me when I start to buy my own rental properties. The two professions that came to mind were home inspector and appraiser. Both of which I would take as many classes as needed and attempt to get an apprenticeship or internship position. I don't have much construction background which I'm worried about, I'm also worried how people wouldn't want to hire a 22 year old to come do their inspection/appraisel, any thoughts here. I'm fine with little to no pay for the first year or so because I live with my father. How realistic are these goals? What other RE professions sounds like a good fit for someone like me?
