Saving For My First House

[Vincent Burruss]

I currently work at Home Depot and get $15 an hour, which is decent pay in my situation to save money but I want a higher paying job that could also increase my knowledge of real estate so I can start investing earlier while consequences are still reasonably low (I don't have a family to provide for and live for cheap at my parents). The other night I went to a meet up, and a few guys had the idea working in some sort of trade like becoming an electrician, plumber or HVAC so when I am a landlord I can fix the problems myself, saving money also learning a decent amount about real estate, on top of their decent pay. Should I go for for it? Or should I stick with my job and side hustles?
