I dropped out of college last week.

I’m 20, and I just dropped out of college to pursue RE full time. It’s not that I was bad at school- I had a 3.1 GPA heading into my junior year, but I just decided that since I have clarity on what I want in life, the opportunity cost for 5 more semesters is too high. I’ve passed my pre-course work and I’m taking my real estate exam in about 2 weeks, which will help make me a better investor as well as build capital for investing. What advice do you guys have for your 20 year old self? How can I be productive and make the most out of this period in my life?
