Best of luck in your career!!

I'm a full time investor now but I had careers as a respiratory therapist from 1972 to 1988 and as a software engineer from 1988 to 2014.Noteworthy accomplishments (in order of importance):Married my wife Brenda in 1981, Completed 2006 Iditarod sled dog race, first ascent Gilhooley Tower in Olympic Mountains in 1972, quit smoking in 1985. 

I'm not sure if that helps your current situation, but I think there is a career there for you.  

Hey all, im new to the field of real estate but come from a construction backround and have been a part of many remodels, renovations, and rebuilds.

Please vote for this post, the more people to share their thoughts the more it will benefit my investing career.

However my take away from all that is I can learn it here on BP for much less.Looking forward to gaining more knowledge and meeting other RE investors as my career moves forward.

Be wary of further teachings and gurus in this field.

Any tips on networking, books, or general ideas to become more educated in this field?

I have short saled and flipped 13 houses in my career, and just moved back to CA a few months ago, and looking to get back in the game.
