In College, Starting with NOTHING. Need Direction.

[N/A N/A]

Hi. My name is Evan - I'm a 21 year old college student. Right now I'm basically doing pay-as-you-go here-and-there gen-ed courses, but I plan to start pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree in the fall at ISU.

...maybe.

At this point, I have nothing but 200 dollars in savings, and a total of $10k in debt.

I moved home for the summer, but rather than get another job as a server, I feel motivated - compelled even - to pursue something bigger. I want to put in a lot of time, I'm willing to take risks, and I want to make a considerable amount of money.

I had the opportunity to become a real estate agent, but I much prefer the idea of "flipping houses" or "rehabbing," if I'm using the term right. Essentially, purchasing a house, working to make it nicer, and then selling it for profit. I believe I would enjoy that immensely!

But in my position, having little credit and even less cash - is it possible for me to get started now? I wouldn't hesitate to devote 70+hrs a week to working at making this work for me, if there is a way to get started.

If there is a way, I need direction, big time!

Thanks for any help you can offer!
