Looking to gain some experience in the field prior to investing

[Austin Burrows]

Hello all, I am a young college graduate with minimum professional experience. My goal, like most of you here, is to become financially independent and not work for a paycheck. Because I haven't been in the work force for a long time, my capital is slim to none. I would like some advise on what would be the best way to learn and experience the industry (as a full-time job) while making money to save up some capital, for example, obtaining real estate agent license and working as an agent vs. becoming loan officer to learn the ins and outs of how loans work, etc. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
