@Michael Carbonare I 100% agree! I can work many jobs and build a savings while learning real estate. By the time my peers graduate, I’ll have some money from my jobs and a potential career in real estate! I’d rather take this risk now than accept a 9-5 future with debt, although I’m sure more obstacles will come. I very much appreciate your encouragement at this point in my life.

@Jerryll Noorden I appreciate you very much. You’ve been the first real advice I’ve received, going to talk to my counselors and more family, but I doubt they’ll change my mind.

@Jerryll Noorden There are many reasons why I believe dropping out is the best option. Here are the main ones:

1) I’m not happy, My major in architecture requires an unbelievable amount of time and effort, I’m doing extremely well but I’d rather be investing this time into something I enjoy learning (real estate).

2) If I stay this track, I’ll be 120+ thousand dollars in debt for a degree in architecture when I do not need this degree to be in real estate. Instead of going into debt during this 5 year program, I can work multiple jobs and get my real estate license. Yes working many jobs will suck for a while, but at least I’ll be making money rather than going into debt for something I don’t enjoy. When others are graduating in debt, I’d ideally be debt free and a future in real estate.

3) I’ll have no other option really but to succeed in real estate, so I’ll be even more motivated than I am now. I’m not considering dropping out because school is hard, I’m doing extremely well, but because school is not necessary and is “wasting” my time when I can be doing what I believe I enjoy.

Everyone goes to college and works a 9-5 for the rest of their careers, I can’t imagine that for myself. A degree in architecture or any degree is not necessary (I think) to be a successful real estate agent. I’m only 19 so this all may sound very ignorant and typical of a young mind, but it’s really what I’m thinking. I really appreciate any feedback because I don’t really have anyone who knows what they’re talking about in this subject.

I’m a 19 year old freshman in college studying architecture but I’m realizing I’m more interested in the business of buildings and not building them. There’s a real estate program here, but I’d be going 100+ thousand into student loan debt. I’m considering dropping out, getting a job or two, and getting my real estate license. My reasoning is that by the time everyone graduates with debt, id ideally be doing some form of a real estate career with no debt. Is this a good option? I’d also be more happy with this option.
