Pros and cons of quitting my current job.

Where I'm at currently

I'm 24 years old

I make $27,000 a year working for Nova Community College

I'm a W-2 employee.

I've worked here for about 2 years

I'm constantly learning new things about technology in robotics and in the stem field

I consistently go to expose and events where I can hone my person-to-person skills.

Where I would like to go

Get a $25 an hour job as a 1099 employee / partner /GC for a real estate investor that has 30 rentals owned free and clear and running about 20 flips right now.

Do I keep my W2 job in hopes that financing will come my way or do I put all my eggs in one basket with this real estate investor. Hes offered me this job before...

@Daniel Jewell I'm of the mindset that it's more risky to stay "comfortable" than to go for it. Too many people wake up 20 years later because it was easier to stay comfortable than it was to go after their dreams. I'd 100% do it and I don't even see it as all that risky because I'm pretty sure you could throw a dart on a map of companies and find a job making more than $27k.
