advice needed, please help!

[Israel Gabriel Martinez]

I am 18 and just graduated high school in June. I have free college and my parents are shoving it down my throat I should take it because it's free. I am really interested in real estate investing and have been listening to bigger pockets podcast everyday since I graduated. I want to be a real estate investor but my whole family is putting me down saying it is just not possible right now and making me go to college since it is free and I have nothing better to do. I would really appreciate if someone gave me some areas to study in college that would go hand to hand with real estate or some advice on what to do. I would really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do so.
