Hi @Mitch Messer, I appreciate and value your honest opinion! I have retracted on the idea of learning trades and will focus more on the business training. I have sent you a connection request and would love to add your recommendations to my summer reading list. 

@Michael Mullininx, I think my initial thought was to protect myself from scammers but getting the general scope of the different work involved seems more feasible and I appreciate your input!

Hi @Caleb Heimsoth, that's great to hear you invested around the same age as me, sounds like it's working out for you! I will enjoy my last year and good luck to you.

Hello everybody, I would like to introduce myself as I have just began my REI education and understanding. I am a 22 year old mechanical engineering student who has one year left of school before I graduate. This summer I will have an internship with an engineering company, I have been applying to a couple positions and have been waiting to hear back from them. If I don't hear back, I will go back to the company I worked for last summer.

In the meantime, I will be spending my time studying and learning about REI so when I graduate and have a salary, I can find and invest in my first property. I would like to learn some trades as well, carpentry as the first one I would like to tackle. I am always open to the advice of anyone who has experience in REI and/or engineering as well.

Bigger Pockets is a great community that will help me get these ideas into fruition, so I have downloaded the UBG already and after exams are done, I have David Greene’s new book on my list and Tim Ferriss’s book as well. I have began to divulge into BiggerPockets podcast and have been enjoying this new learning experience! Like I said, I just wanted to introduce myself and I’m very open to any advice you’re willing to give. Thank you!
