21 Year Old in College and NEEDS advice!

Hello all! My name is Dillon Kiley and I currently go to Colorado Mesa University studying software engineering. I believe college is a scam, generates a crazy amount of debt and just gets you stuck in the corporate rat race. I love to code but I hate paying $100 grand to get a piece of paper that says I can code. I want to drop out and pursue real estate. I've listened to every BP podcast and am always learning more about real estate inventing online. When I'm in Denver I also go to real estate meetings. So here's the thing... I know I want to invest in the next few years but the market in Denver is SOOO high right now. My current plan is to get a house on an FHA loan. I want to fix up the house and rent out the basement to a tenant. Does this seem like a good plan to you experts? And should I even try to invest in Denver or is it to high of a market to pursue at this time? I'm looking forward to your responses and I want to thank you for your help ahead of time :)
