How does an 18yo break into RE?

Hey BP'ers, my name is Rick and I'm from Houston. This is my first post on the forum.

I'm looking to get into REI, but I want to gain experience in another part of real estate first. My parents have suggested that I get a RE sales license and start from there.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to what they would do in my position? I'm open to ideas. Keep in mind that saying "go to college" won't help because I don't plan on paying for it. 

Thanks in advance.

@Richard Rivkin

Why not just jump into investing? Wholesaling is a great option for someone just starting out. You can do it with little to no money and make a great living while you learn the ropes! Just make sure you study everything you can get your hands on so you can get your head wrapped around everything That search bar at the top right hand of these forums is the best thing ever invented.. Better than any mentor. Really the only difference from you and an active wholesaler is knowledge and having the balls to get started (:

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
