2 yr. College Investment or Jump into Real Estate?

[Alex Merkel]

I am in a bit of a pickle; I am deciding how to achieve my goal of owning buy and hold real estate. My current job doesn't bring in a lot of money and I am trying to figure out if I should just go to college and get an associate's degree and augment my income so I can save more money for down payments or continue in the path I am on and maybe have a slower acquisition rate and be less "bankable." Right now I have just under $10,000 saved up over two years and I would love to hear what others think about my situation. Thanks!
