How to become a real estate developer?

[Alonzo Thomas]

okay so this is only my second post on BP, and I have a strong interest in becoming a real estate developer someday.

I know there are many ways to become a developer but,

Unfortunately I don't qualify for the education that should be obtained to work for a developer to gain experience under a development firm. 

I'm not so sure, how I can do this or start,  so I need advice/help.
