Interested in Learning about real estate

[Austin Landry]

Hi all, 

I am 19 years old, and a senior in high school currently residing with my parents near Augusta, Maine. I will be attending college in Mass. next year. I am taking college courses now and knocking out my freshmen year- as I want to get my MBA in my fourth year of school. I am majoring in Accounting. One of my interest has always been real-estate, and so I am here to learn from the best.  I am wondering if you all think real-estate is more of a full time job, or something I can do on the side as an investment opportunity. I am also investing in stocks/mutual funds ect. Obviously as a college student I have limited funds and time capabilities , but I figure if learn how it works now when the funds are available I will be able to take action. My main goal being; to have a financially sound and prosperous future.Thank you all in advance for your support and expertise, I look forward to your input on the best course of action to take.
