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!
