Real Estate Degree or Accounting Degree for College?

Bryce Betley

Posted

Hi all,

I am 19 years old and am finishing up my first year of college going for Accounting. I have only had one accounting class and it does not seem to be that interesting to me, but it is useful and I predict will help with my future of investing.

That being said, I am considering transferring schools to get a degree in Real Estate. The description of the major talks about investing constantly, which obviously I want to do.

While I was searching on the forums earlier, not many people talked about a legit Real Estate major as most colleges do not offer it. Would getting a Real Estate degree be more applicable and help to advance myself or is Accounting a better major?

Thanks for looking!
