How can I become a real estate developer?

[Marlon Thomas]

hello biggerpockets users. 

I have a strong interest in becoming a real estate developer. It is absolutely my dream. 

I want to develop condominium, multifamily, amd mixed use properties someday. 

I am not so sure how I can even come a developer or where to start, I am quite confused on where to began.

Some have suggested that I should earn a MBA or a Bachelors, but school has never been my strong suit. I have a fear that could possibly end my goal to become a developer. 

Since there are generally more than one path to become a developer, what path would you suggest? Thanks.
