College, Trade School or workforce?

[Jim Nettles]

Our 18 year old son is very interested in real estate, real estate investment and business. He's graduating HS shortly and is at a crossroads. He's not sure what he should do to help realize his dream of being a business owner and real estate investor. Should he attend college for business, learn a trade or enter the workforce and learn REI on his own? Based on what I've read in Rich Dad, Grant Cardone and Brandon Turner all encourage a college education but also say it may not be necessary. So we are curious if any investors in this forum have faced the same crossroads. If so what recommendations and guidance would you give my son?

Thx
