Will I not be taken seriously if I dont go to college?

[Connor Steck]

Hi I am 19 and wanting to get in to the real estate investing path as a full time commitment and career, I want to start working towards the future now but I dont know if I should go to college or not. It seems that my time and money would be better spent going 100% into this and working hard over those years, but I'm worried that without a college degree or experience no one will take me seriously at all.

Any insight or opinions on this? Will lenders and banks look at college degrees to make decisions?
