How do you get started as a real estate agent in college?

[Nickolas Rossol]

I'm currently in my junior year at college 20 years old and am taking my real estate classes online. I want to get started in real estate as soon as possible with all the free time I have at college. The thing is I live in an apartment by my school which is 3 hours away from my hometown which is where I live in the summer. I guess I'm wondering if it would even be possible for me to get started as an agent now Or if I should wait it out until I'm done with school. Thanks!
