Should I stay in university?!

Posted

Hey everyone! 

I’m currently in a really tough position just looking for any advice I can get. I’m 19 years old and currently studying structural engineering in my 2nd year. I hate university. I had this idea that university would somehow help me to begin investing in SFM and small multis (qualifying for mortgages, etc). I still have another 2.5 years to go of my degree and it seems like such a waste of time. Everyone around me is saying to stick out the last couple years for the security. I’m also in a tough spot as my parents are paying for my education which puts a lot of pressure on me to stick out the remaining couple years. My true passion is real estate investing. I just don’t know where to go from here. If anyone would be willing to weigh in their thoughts I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks a lot!
