Full Time RE or Side Job

[JD Randall]

To start out I'm actually still in High School. I'm currently saving for my first investment property which I will hopefully acquire soon after school which I have a other post about.

Should I get a job under someone in real estate after school or should I look for another job?

I originally planned to become a Real Estate Agent to see what other people are doing with deals before I hop into the game.

One of the hosts in the BP RE podcast was a construction contractor so is that a good way to go? I currently have decent experience as an electrician and a little bit as a plumber so I know something of construction.

I know there is a lot of ways to get into RE but if you could do it again what would you do?

Thanks for the help!
