I'm 19 and don't know where to start

HI all!

This is actually my first post here after listing to some of the podcasts bigger pockets has I wanted to get some advice on where to go. As I said in the title I'm 19, a full time college student, and I'm working part time as a farm hand. I stumbled on all of this financial advice after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and I want to make sure I set my self up for financial success in the future so I'm not stuck in the 'rat race'. I wanted to ask, I'm a sophomore in college studying business finance, should I wait to start in real estate until I get out of college and have a stable income?  I have about 20k saved up from working since I was 14 and I have it invested in the stock market right now. Should I put that all towards college so I can come out practically debit free? Should I find someone local and shadow in the mean time? How would I even begin to look to find someone? Should I find a cheap property that I can try to flip? Any advice would be greatly apricated! Thank you in advance!
