What's a good job for an investor

What's a good, high-paying job that would be good for a young guy like me that is looking to make real estate investing my life and career, a job that brings in good income so I can save it and invest it. My degree is in business administration. What high-paying jobs could I look for with this degree? Now say I didn't have a degree, what jobs would be good to look into that pay well if you work hard and put long hours in. I need to increase my income. Thanks, guys, I know I post a lot, but you're like my family/mentors I never had. I've learned so much already from you all truly!

LOL. @Jayden Hamilton, my degree is in English Language and Literature. I was a remarkably good English as a Second Language teacher. These days, because ESL pays diddley-squat, I am a remarkably good residential handyman who works on his own properties. I am compensated unbelievably well for my work, and what's even better, I'm compensated in both increased rent and equity, not a one-time paycheck.

The bad news is, you can look forward to at least a five-year apprenticeship, you have to have reasonably good hand-eye coordination, the job is more dangerous than most, you get no respect, and you'll spend too much time alone trying to motivate yourself.
