Hello BP community!
Just moved from Puerto Rico to Wellington, Fl and i was wondering whats the best job a beginner can find to start learning all about real-estate investing, while earning some money to start making the moves (Note: without degree). Thank you all for the advice, best regards.

Aldo, I started off just doing whatever I could for investors and agents - much of it grunt work (putting signs up, delivering documents, etc). Later on, I worked as an unlicensed assistant to a real estate agent, did broker price opinions, knocked on doors, etc. Lots of stuff that at the time I really wasnt in to, but now see as invaluable skills I got thrown in the deep end on.
The skills I picked up during those few years made it so that when I took my real estate licensing test, it was pretty easy since I'd been working with contracts and transactions for a while.

Hi Aldo. My goal, like many others' here, is to become a real estate investor. I chose to become a real estate agent as it would help me to learn the laws, the lingo, to network, and just being more exposed to different properties, just to name a few. There are other career paths you can pursue to learn the ropes of becoming a real estate investor but this is the path I chose as I saw many similarities that will directly help me. Hope this helped.
