I really want to be a real estate agent then become a real estate broker, is that just a path of failure?=/?

everyone tells me im just gonna fail sense the market is shitty... im in college and plan on getting my bachelors in Business. do you think a career in real estate is a stupid choice?=( i would LOVE to do it, and i think i would be good at it. i will also be only 21 when i get my real estate licensee so i have plenty of time to learn the Business. i need every ones opinion and advice please!
