My Career Choice

Hello Bigger Pockets Family,

My name is Nicholas Staley I'm 19, a sophomore at Grand Valley State University. I am an active realtor and looking to invest in the near future. I was a marketing major and recently switched to finance. What career choice would add more value to my future as investing but also as a real estate agent? 

Thank you for any thoughts and advice. 

best, Nicholas

Working for a property Management would be fantastic if you are looking to learn more about investing, how to manage rentals, meet other investors, etc.  Title Work also allows you to meet a lot of people in the industry.  What brokerage are you working with?  Some add more value to new agents than others, so this can be a very important decision as well.  A degree isn't needed for investing ;)
