I NEED YOUR ADVICE! DROP OUT OF SCHOOL?

[Juan Erick Rico Avalos]

Hey, I aM 19 I have been going to trade school for a year and a half now. I still have a year left, for the past 6 months I have been obsessed  with real estate investing i love the idea. I can't stop listening to podcasts, reading forums and books on this topic I really do think its my passion. I am so passionate about this that I can't stop thinking about real estate investing and what a great opportunity it really is. My problem is that I have realized that I no longer wanna be a welder it doesn't intreg me as much as real estate. I go to school in the morning and work a fulltime job as a security officer at a hospital. I am so far into welding tho that I don't wanna to just leave it just like that. It feels like i've wasted a whole year and a half of my life. I instead wanna start applying for leasing consultant jobs in my local area. This would be a morning job which is when I have school. So I feel stuck, I know I need money (in most cases I know there  no money down deals but can be hard to find) to invest and welding could provide that for me but now i feel miserable when i'm at school doing something i don't wanna do. Being a lease consultant would give me a lot of knowledge on real estate but this would mean switching career paths. Being a leasing consultant sounds like something i would enjoy but at the same time maybe i would like it then that's next. I feel like i am over complicating things but it hard for me because ever since i was in school school i wanted to be a pipeline welder but reading rich dad poor dad really opened my eyes. What other careers would be good to get into real estate? I really appreciate your advice and thank you for your time tell me the hard truth.
