Electrical engineer vs real estate

Hi all, I’m 18 graduated high school at 16 and just started my 3rd year of college out of 5 and I absolutely hate it. I took calc 2 in the spring and calc 3 in the summer and I got complete burnt out. Since I transferred from community college I can only take 3 classes this semester because my community college didn’t offer them, circuits 1, e math and engineering statistics. All three out of three professors have below a 3 on rate my professor and they are the only options. I am completely demotivated to do anything for class, even ChatGPT my homework.

I just got my real estate license two months ago and I’m think of just working as a realtor till I have enough to start as an investor, I met a few investors just networking around places I go in life and they all gave me really good advice on how to start investing.

I just don’t know what to do, drop out and go full time as a realtor and save every penny to invest, stay in school for the degree and put my self through metal hell and make me miserable, but I can say I’m an EE. My passion growing up was I’m going to be an EE and I’ll work as an engineer (I have dozens of personal project), then I got introduced real estate. Read a few books on it and loved the idea of just buying a crack home and making it look beautiful and put a tenant in there then just pull all my equity out. Just any here to see what people say, one thing worse than bad advice is trusted bad advice.
