New BP Member from Orlando, Florida
Hello all, my name is Tj. I'm excited to be a member of BiggerPockets and having the ability to communicate and connect with people from all over the world. I am currently attending the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. I am pursing a degree in Civil Engineering as of right now.... and, I'm close to a minor in Real Estate. I have a passion for investing, real estate, and dealing with money. I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate. I am only 18 years old and my goal is to get serious in the world of investing and real estate while I am still young. I would love to meet, learn, and chat with anyone so feel free to contact me.

Hey Terry! It is awesome that you are already becoming involved in such a great community, BiggerPockets. I to went to UCF as well and had friends graduate with degrees in Real Estate. In my opinion and the opinion of my friends that have paid a large price for a "degree" in real estate but picking up that minor is going to be expensive and give you less value then learning from sources such as Biggerpockets and other real estate professionals. I worked as an agent in Orlando for about two years and gained more applicable knowledge during that time (through other agents, investors, my experience etc.) then a buddy who had a four year degree. I also got paid! Determine what your goals are and WHY you have them and stay focused!!
