Should i take the job or will it stop me from pursuing my dream

I recently left University to pursue my dream of becoming a successful real estate investor. I'm 19 years old from the UK and i aim to become a highly successful investor in the States.

I am trying to research as much as i can; reading books/blogs/articles etc and listening to various podcasts, i do this daily. ( i currently do not have a job and am searching for one to generate cash flow which i can save but one that will also leave me enough time to continue putting the effort and time into researching, reading and listening to multi-family investing related topics. 

HOWEVER i have not yet found one as such and the past week i have had completed an interview process and was successful on achieving a marketing and sales management course where i will be fast tracked to become a manager and oversee various campaigns for various clients. The pay structure is commission based and will require a lot of my time, effort, attention and focus. Maybe too much, which would leave me little/none to focus truly on what i want to do (real estate investing). Perhaps an easy way of putting it is i am searching for a 'cash job' to save money but would also allow me enough time to continue avidly researching property investing. However this job is more of a 'career' job, but a career i clearly do not want to pursue, BUT the pay could potentially be good dependant on my performance and the skills in sales and marketing could provide useful. Although it would completely take my attention away from real estate investing

I am hoping someone can provide some much needed advice on such a matter. I thank you in advanced

Jye
