You're not going to like my advice, but it's the ONLY surefire way to actually make it imo.
>Get forklift certified. It's cheap and can be done in one day, or a week if you want to be able to work every type.
>Pursue the best paying job you can possibly get and BE SURE to discuss the whole overtime scenario, and if they're "no no" on overtime then TELL them that if they hire you, that you will not be available for overtime work because you are going to....
>Get a second job that also pays well.

So that's two jobs or one that guarantees A LOT of overtime. Then save save save up that money and you can either move up to trucking full time (and I'm talking OTR, with no home time) OR...and this is what I did, I took all of my saved up money, got my real estate license and then just threw myself at the business. I was actually a trucker for a little while too but driving 11 hours a day will destroy your body, so I made the switch.

With that said, real estate is no easy task. I work about 18-20 hrs a day, every single day and sometimes even beyond that. I'd normally be sleeping right now but I'm literally waiting for a client to call me when they get home from work so I can schedule my day with them tomorrow.

Keywords here: Work yourself to death and save.

Once people see that you're a workaholic (and dependable; don't be late ever) they'll start calling you nonstop. There's no "easy way" unless you're very very lucky. You literally have to live to work. I'm 38 and have the John McCain hair....but hey I'm making about 100k a year and once I open my own property management and start a security company with my cousin, hopefully I can crank that up to 250k.

Best wishes.
