Getting started - in a few years

[Caleb Beers]

Hello, all. I'm 23, currently going back to college while living with my parents. Right now, my plan is to go to school, get an engineering degree, and use the money from that to become a real estate investor. It would also give me a "safety net" in case my real estate ventures fail. I have some questions regarding this:

1. Will the student loan debt incurred from college stop me from getting a loan to buy a house, or....
2. Would I be better off getting a full time job now, and then going into real estate?
