I totally agree with you that this line of reasoning is very myopic for those who think that they can readily do so and become an overnight sensation in REI.The likelihood of success of this ill-conceived move from a stable W2 paycheck, to immersion in REI with no related education, experience or backup funds, though minutely achievable is tantamount to hitting the lottery.In other words the chance of success is slim to none!

:-(Obviously, I jumped in too quickly, but I will continue to immerse myself in trying to learn this business.  

I am just trying to immerse myself in the investing industry and learn as much as possible.I may get a RE license in the future although I really enjoy the work I am doing now, make more money than leasing but will be unable to have active license at the same time.I had a few questions already but would like to know if I should post those here or start a new post as I am sure my questions will be pretty green.Thanks!!

I know I can do this, but am not sure how to take a giant leap forward and get completely immersed.
