Should I drop out of college and get my real estate license?

[Ethan Garrett]

Currently I’m attending college full time to get a business degree and working a full time job in finance and accounting keep in mind I’m only 20 years old at this point. This doesn’t leave me much time for my true passion that is real estate. I want to get out of finance and accounting and get into the real estate industry. I’m struggling to justify the cost and time all for a degree. My goal is to get my real estate license and start my investing journey. However my parents are highly opposed to the idea. They feel that because they’ve never known anyone successful and seen failures in real estate it simply isn’t possible to be successful. Also they feel that it takes a ton of up front capital to get started, which I know simply isn’t true.

What are your thoughts and what should I do!?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hope to eventually become a full time investor/ business owner.
