College education has absolutely no bearing on being a successful Real Estate agent or investor. Education is essential, but not from college classes. Don't waste the money.

I know some very successful agents and investors that have never stepped foot on a college campus, and some very highly educated failures. If you have a thirst for knowledge, have a strong desire, good work ethic, and know that you will and should always be learning, you will make it.

Oh, btw, I hold a masters degree.
