How should I choose to get capital

Question

My original plan involved saving up 20 to 30k as I continue to learn and try to see if I can intern or something in that manner with a real estate agent or investor. I am 18 and I have hydrocephalus. I just recently had a conversation with my mom and she brought up good points. She obviously doesn’t want me to work since that could put extra strain on my head( I have headaches most of the week). I come to realization getting a job isn’t going to be that realistic for me. Ultimately I know I need to do what fits me best. My reason for making this post is to see advice from anybody else with a demanding health condition. I didn’t know why the first thing the doctors would check when I feel sick or have a fever was because it could be a malfunction. I say that to say it is also a big expense as any small thing causes doctors to check. If you do have an illness how have you implemented it into your plan. I’m thinking of solely using wholesale or the rent to buy I think it’s called but I just wanted advice.

@Mekei Coleman becoming a real estate agent may be an area to explore further, it doesn't require much physical activity. However it definitely takes the right mindset to become successful, you need to be driven and have a lot of self discipline. If that doesn't sound like you then there's no shame in working a W2 and continuing to save for your first rental property. If you were to ask any RE investor they'd probably tell you they wish they'd started sooner, considering you're only 18 puts you way ahead of the game.
