Is this just the bullet I need to bite in order to chase my REI dreams?

I'm 19 years old, I have full time union job but I have much bigger goals then that, my dream is too become a full time very successful real estate agent "as does everyone lol" but I feel I can really do it, I want to start with wholesaling get that mastered and pursue other forms of real estate from there, I been doing my research, reading books, watching youtube videos, etc.

in my knowledge, if i hire an architect, they make my dreams come true, not copy their as built plans, there is no point in making plans if it doesn't work.

I would really appreciate any help you guys could give me this is my first step toward my dream.

I'm very fortunate that I have this opportunity to pursue my dream. 

You will have to wait another 20 years while they suck away your dreams.

I can't ask for a handout, just taking the initiative day by day to learn and move closer to my dream of financial freedom.  

Am I dreaming to think I can earn close to that starting out as an agent or should I get another job in my current industry and transition from there? 

Those who buy Apple stock today will wonder why iPhone sales will not help them to fulfill their dream to become rich.

It's long term play still figuring out the secret sauce, some of the reasons of failures are upfront and clear but still investors are tempted on dreams and seem to be very happy.Good LuckVivek
