Jobs that will develop financial literacy skills

Hello!

My name is Joseph Hartley, and I’m just starting out my journey in real estate. I’ve been learning a lot about house hacking, and I’m seriously considering purchasing my first house to rent out soon. However, I’ve come to realize that I don’t know much about personal financing or management, and I wanted to develop these skills while earning income. What types of jobs would I be able to take out of high school that’s would allow me to develop these skills?

Thank you!

Joseph, you don't have to get a job to learn financial literacy.

There are books at the library or online, magazines like Kiplinger's, websites like Nerdwallet, and the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast where you can learn for free. 

On Google and YouTube can learn anything. 

Good luck.

    @Joseph Hartley You should look up Mike Hambright. He's an investor in your area and would be the best to learn from.

    @Joseph Hartley

    I think that is a pretty good idea! You'll learn the ins and outs of "the other side of the coin". If the agent is open to it, I think you will learn a lot.

    But just like in rich dad poor Dad, the guy who Robert worked for free was sceptical even though Robert was a millionaire and had multiple businesses. I don't think you have any of that so you'll have to provide something; "sell" your skills.

    It's like looking for a mentor; you don't ask someone to be your mentor right after you meet them for the first time.

    I've never asked to work for free but I think that's a great way to learn from experienced people.

    PM me later and tell me how it goes, I'm very interested.

    All the best 👍

    @Drew Bursey yes, sir I understand. I figured because I don’t have those things going for me that I can make up for it working for free. Thank you, and I will!
