What's the first step to investing some of my 20k in stocks or real estate? I wanna put it to good use instead of having it sit in the bank?

Update:

I am 23 years old with 20k, and I don't really know how investing works and whatnot, but i Have a serious interest in it. What are some websites or some people I can talk to to start right away?

    Open a brokerage account. Barron's has a list of brokerages--in general you'll want to look for one with low fees.
