Need some solid career advice

[Account Closed]

Hey BP Community,

I'm 22, recently graduated college and have a couple options to pursue but don't know what trigger to pull. Want to run by a couple scenarios and just looking for some reasonable advice from some knowledgeable people.

1. My temp job/internship just ended so now I'm unemployed. Really close to pulling the trigger and go all in to becoming a RE agent. I have my reasons for becoming an agent (wanting to work in the RE field, former salesman, entrepreneurial mindset, embraces challenges, network, MLS). And I'm thinking becoming a RE agent in the NOVA (Northern Virginia) area is a plus.

2. On the other hand, I really want to move out of this state to somewhere new, like NC, Texas or Florida, but finding a job to start off with is a hassle. Maybe I should save that move for later down the road? I'm just really eager to move. Really eager. 

3. Or maybe I should just try hard to get a regular job that I care about and eventually build up to do some RE investing on the side. I feel like finding an "in the meantime"  job is boring and a waste of time, I don't know. Finding a job even for a college graduate is still hard. That's why I'm considering becoming an agent because it's a job that I will truly care about due to the fact of my passion for real estate and that I'll be starting my own business.   

I know at the end of the day I have to make the decision that I feel is best for me, but ANY feedback is appreciated. Just a young dude trying to be smart about his moves, thank you

@Michael Dingle congrats on finishing college. I’m not an expert on real estate..... not even a beginner yet. Just started learning about it. However, finishing college back in 2013 and having a solid job has aloud me and my wife to pay of all our debt and start looking into other investments now. I don’t say this to brag but to say that having a job and learning to budget has been a great learning experience. Your ambition and drive is awesome. *** to answer your question*** getting a job that pays your bills and helps you start saving is important. With your drive you will excell at what you do.... even if it’s a “boring job” it will allow you to build up some reserve to start making RE purchases. Then the next, then the next, you can always get your RE license on the side and if you end up working part time transition into RE? Good luck I can’t answer many RE questions but I’m about 5 or so years ahead of you after college and can answer other questions you might have.
