@Nick Quarandillo Hey Nick, i have never commented on biggerpockets before but this topic drew my attention. What i would recommend if you truly don't think college is for you and truly want to be an entrepreneur; i would say figure out how bad you want i, ask yourself if this is really your passion and start today to research and learn about real estate as much as you can. I don't know what your circumstances are but i can comment on what i have seen and what i believe in. There are a lot of people that will come your way telling you to proceed with caution or not to follow your passion but that's because they place their limitations on you. Truth is i can speak a lot on this matter but the short answer and most important one is figuring out your why and your mindset, if your why is strong enough and because of it your willing to do whatever it takes and sacrifice a lot of things then ignore the naysayers and continue your course. However, if your going to be just an average guy half-assing stuff, just wasting time and being lazy than you'll always be a mediocre. Its up to you; my younger brother dropped out of college, saved up some funds then even quit his job and became a full time realtor, everyone was against it by the way. In this last 4 months of being a full time in real estate agent, he has already done 5-10 transactions in a period of only 4 months and this is not even counting our fix and flip deals. He is now going to make my whole year salary 60k in less than 6 months, in his first year of real estate. This is coming from a civil engineering major by the way. Point is no one can tell you 100% what you should do but you can tell yourself what your willing to give up to achieve a successful life. Also don't only do it because of the money; because you can make money numerous ways and if money is your only motivator or you only why then you will get burned out. I recommend reading be obsessed or be average by Grant Cardone; great book. If your interested in speaking and talking about it message me and i will be happy to hold a discussion with you on this matter.
