Looking for some wisdom for my situation

Hey BP!

My name is Aaron Kim, and I currently live near Los Angeles, California.

The advice I am seeking is not really related to real estates, but with a dilemma I am facing.

I am currently 24 years old and just got accepted to attend UCSB and UCI next fall as a transfer.

I am at a point in life where I see my high school and college friends all graduating and starting their 

"real world job". 

My dilemma starts few months back, when I discovered and fell in love with the world of 

Real Estate. 

Ever since then, I started reading, looked for new content, and researched like something has 

possessed me.

In a way, Real Estates sparked a light of ambition in my heart and ignited my passion to

focus and learn about something I can enjoy doing.

With the momentum I gained from wanting to study real estate, I absolutely dominated all my 

classes in school this semester.

I feel like going to school and completing my undergraduate in actuarial science to become an

actuary is the safest route to take, but there is a voice in the back of my mind telling me to 

start working as an agent.

I have completed all of my real estate classes for the license test, and will be taking my 

test shortly.

Although it may seem like a safer option, going to school means I will not be able to invest or create 

any income for myself for 2-3 years.

As well as accumulating what we know of as "bad debt" such as student loans.

There are many pros and cons factored into both sides of the argument, and I just wanted some 

advice from Realtors, and anyone on the BP forum.

Thank you for your precious time!
