Starting out, career help, real estate crossroads

[Jason Blevins]

so I've been reading and listening to podcasts for awhile now and have been wanting to start something.  Im 26 and with me and my girlfriend's debt situation im looking into getting a better paying job so I can get out of debt and begin investing.  if i can do something real estate related that would be cool. my girlfriend wants to be a real estate agent and considering how challenging that can be I didn't think we should both do that. I thought about home inspector,  electrician, or plumber but currently have no technical skill with any of those plus 4 year apprenticeship may be a bit much. If not a real estate career im considering nursing or elevator repair.  What do you guys think considering I'd need extra time and money to start my real estate ventures?

If you want to invest more of your time you could possibly work for a contractor or rehabber doing any odd jobs they have. It would be a good way to network, learn rehabbing, and eventually be able to rehab your own properties.
