Agent vs Broker vs Investor

Hello BiggerPockets!

I’m currently a 20 year old student, and have a real interest in the long term wealth building that real estate has to offer. I have read almost all BiggerPockets books, and a bunch by Robert Kiyosaki as well. I am in a position that I’m sure many of you were also in at my age. I am currently unsure of what I want to get my 4 year degree in or if I want to switch to going to school to be a Real estate agent or Broker. With this post I am looking for some advice on the pros and cons of becoming a real estate agent/broker, and the benefits it has had for people in their investing careers. I would love any information or advice you guys have to offer! 
Thank you, Aidan McGee

@Aidan McGee What Aaron said!  Get your license on the side.  With the right brokerage you can also get educated and work at your own pace.  Plus, not only can you earn sales commission but you can build additional income streams with your license! Best of luck.
