Looking for advice for a starting investor

[Shaun Fogleman]

So I am a recent 2020 grad from college with a degree in Bio and after reading most of The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, I am hooked on real estate investing and want to get started ASAP. But, currently, I'm living at home and working at a place I do not see myself having a career in. I know in the book, it talks about keeping your job to help you save money for properties or if you already have cash flow from property, to just live off of until you have a sufficient amount of cash flow to quit your job. My other option is to attend school for Medical Sales in Fall of 2021 and have a guaranteed job in sales for 2022. So my question is: should I pursue medical sales as a way of gaining capital to invest into properties, or just start saving money now while I'm at home to invest in properties now and forget about the extra school? Thanks for whatever advice you can give me!
