I work on the design and engineering side of things in the San Bernardino area, just north of you!

My parents wanted me to be an Engineer, but I switched to business.  

i've so far always gone with doing my own since my dad is a bldg engineer and my besty is a general contractor.but unfortunately i cannot do it myself for my clients. if u know a good couple to choose from, pls also pass them along.. thx

Now that I am steady and comfortable, as well as a few Bigger Pockets Podcasts in, I decided it was time to go into this full force. 

Starting with the right education and taking all in is the key.

Don't let me stop you, but I would highly suggest that engineering degree.

Learning some handyman skills while saving up the money to jump in is a most excellent idea.

When this inflation really kicks in I want to have as much mortgage debt as possible.

I don't know what the university town you are in is like, but here at Mizzou they admitted 4,000 more Freshman then they should have (I don't really know how you do that either).
