Real Estate Pre-licensing Courses to become a better investor?

[Shannon Glanton]

Greetings Bigger Pockets Family,

Recently I signed up for the Texas Sales Agent Real Estate pre-licensing course.  I have to know as much as I can about any topic prior to "jumping in".  I have high-achiever anxiety haha. I felt that although I read all the books and listened to all the podcasts, I still wasn't comfortable. Disclaimer, I am not for certain if I will ever sit for the exam. This was purely to get as familiar as I can to be comfortable as an investor. Though impossible to avoid, I am trying not learn anything major the "hard way". So I am here today to present myself to "the court of public opinion". Was this an intelligent idea? Despite the money, has anyone found genuine success with this route? 

Thanks in advance!
