Hello I am 19 years old and I am interested in real estate investing. What is the best way to get started for a newbie? Also, I am currently in college and am trying to pick a major and job that will benefit me most when I do begin real estate some time in the future. Would it be better to be a financial planner where I make more money and understand wealth management or would it be better to be a real estate agent where I build more knowledge, but make less money?

Hello and welcome to Biggerpockets!! Nice to meet you. Good luck going forward!! I say get a degree that makes you happy. You can learn anything if you desire it. And most of what you learn about RE investing comes from school of hard knocks. Your day jobs pays for that education. Use college to learn the fundamentals.
