18 years old wanting to invest

[Michael Judge]

I’m currently 18 years old in high school, committed to a Division 3 college near me to play Baseball. I’m not very excited for college, and I’m still unsure if I really want to go or not. I also received no scholarship or financial aid, and would be paying the full tuition each year. 

I know my end goal is to get into real estate and become an investor, and I feel like college is holding me back. It seems like I should go to work out of high school, and start investing instead of wasting my time at college. If there is anyone who has been in the same position, please give any advice.

Going to college can be a waste of time - if you have no goals that are served by the 4 years of studies. As @Charles Carillo said, you can make the most of that time, but most people just waste the 4-5 years and then end up doing something unrelated to their degree field anyway.

Maybe look into a Trade School, like an electrical one....nice clean work that pays really well. And you would be learning the trades that will help you in the RE journey too.

Think of it like this - in the 4 years you'd spend in college, you could already have a couple properties.....
