Thanks for the advice.my college is of no cost to me, so financially I'm good. If I switched my degree to something I really enjoy, i would study poly sci, but i see it as a waste because no jobs come from a poly sci degree unless I want to work for the govt which i don't. I am struggling with my business classes right now and they are very challenging for me, so thats why I consider changing my major to a degree that really has no job opportunities(poly sci) or drop out because business is to hard for me and I have no interest in it anyways. I see college as a way to improve my chances of receiving a higher w2 income  in order to qualify for a loan to fund my investing in the future.

Need some advice! I am currently in college and have 3 years left. I am getting a business degree but I have no desire to even work in that field and lack motivation to even continue on with something I don't even enjoy.  When I graduate I want to become an RE agent and also invest in properties so I see my degree as being a waste of time, when I could be working for three years and saving up money for investment properties. Would it be a bad idea to quit college to work on getting my RE license and work full-time and maybe make 20k a year in the mean time. I figure I can save up 50k in three years and move onto  being a real-estate agent when I'm 22 because I'm 19 right now and believe that I'm too young to be taken seriously if I was a realtor.
