Question of learning about real estate or focusing on school.

[Isaac Gwin]

I am currently a full-time student and will graduate in 2022. Counting down the days! The school I go to is very rigorous, and my class schedule is very full. I'm torn between learning as much as I can about real estate so when I graduate I can hit the road running, but then I don't want to flunk out or underperform in my classes. Luckily, I have a very good gig lined up right when I graduate, its my dream job! It pays well, I'll be doing what I love, and I will have lots of hours in the day to work on my investing. 

If you were in my shoes, would you priortize classes, real estate, or a mix of both? I bought five different real estate books a few months ago but have barely gone through the first one.

I think it all comes down to time management. 

I know it can be tough being a student and juggling all of the different classes and assignments that are thrown your way but if you are spending 4 hours a day watching Netflix or playing video games, then I would say you have the time. 

And even if you do truly have a packed schedule, it is not that hard to set a side 15 minutes in the morning to read a RE book, blog post or scroll through the forums. Then once you go to class you can put in some headphones and listen to the podcast. A little persistent dedication each day can add up to a wealth of knowledge.   There is 24 hours in the day, you just have to decide how to use it effectively. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
