[Moises Turcios]

Hello all! My name is Moises. I'm 23 years old and a correctional officer for a state prison. I have a two year degree in criminal justice and recently changed my major to finance, real estate and law(cal poly pomona). I thought being in law enforcement was my calling, but after working in this environment, I've come to the conclusion that this career field is not for me. 

I've read numerous books/articles, but I've made very little action. I'm currently flipping items on craigslist/ebay/facebook for profit. I want financial freedom and freedom to spend time with my family and my future family. I'm considering leaving my current employment to become a real estate agent to understand real estate. 

Any advice/criticism is welcomed.
