Hello! I'm Michelle.

I have finally activated my BiggerPockets account, I have been listening to the podcasts here on Youtube for a while. I am 22 years old, and am struggling at the end of my college career. 

I am currently considering a job in real estate (admin) to give me some income while I attempt to become involved in investment. I think it may be a good move for me instead of racking up more debt in college.

I hope to become active in the community here, and to be able to learn a lot from everyone!

Hi Michelle,

This is a great time in your life to set your foundation of knowledge and networking.  Not sure what you mean by struggling at the end but I assume if your 22 your pretty close to graduating.  Finish that.  Nothing more useless than paying back student loans for 2/3 of a degree.

Being in college (while you may disagree now) gives you a huge advantage of having a lot of TIME.  Take advantage of that.  By being on here you are already more forward thinking than most of your peers (myself included at that age.)  Carry a STRICT budget when it comes to your time and money.  Do not waste either.

Good luck out there!   Jim
