Does REI and College go together?

Is it necessary for a Real Estate Entrepreneur to attend college if he/or she is planning to be a full time investor. If so, what would you study to help boost your career?

The more you know, the more power you have.  Specifically in "money" and Law.  

1 - Learn about the banking system and how money actually works.

2 - Learn about contracts and what you can/can't do

3 - Learn about marketing and advertising

4 - Learn about Business Management

5 - Learn about Accounting (not the same as money)

6 - Learn about Business Planning

7 - Learn about the internet and networking (this is computer networking)

8 - Learn about using software...mainly Microsoft Office, and your accounting software of choice

9 - Learn how to speak to people in groups and 1 on 1's

10 - ...and last, but most definitely not least, Learn how to Learn...and NEVER STOP.
