Atlanta Newbie...working while learning real estate investing

Hi everyone I am Wendy, signed up with BP a few months ago but haven't done much since as I was moving from South Arkansas. I have now relocated to South Atlanta to learn as much as I can about real estate investing, through a friend who was kind enough to offer me a place and agreed to mentor me.  Unfortunately, things aren't going so great at the moment as I felt it necessary to get a job to offset living expenses while I learn the business. My friend seems opposed to this, saying this suggests I am not serious and is set on working in a low paying job when I could be learning and earning, by starting with wholesaling.   Any input here would be welcomed.

My first goal is to get qualified for a conventional mortgage in a few months, hence the job, then use what savings I have to BRRRR. I am interested in meeting anyone who is willing to help me on my journey and welcome any suggestions on here as well as via my inbox.

Hope this intro, isn't too long.
