Getting Degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management?

Hey guys, thank you for stopping by to read this. For one, I am a complete newbie regarding real estate. But on to the topic of my post. I am a Navy Veteran and I still have about a year left of paid schooling as well as a monthly housing stipend available to me to use. I am debating on attending my local community college here by Detroit and getting my ABA in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. I am also looking at getting my real estate agent license as well. For those of you that have been in the industry for a while, do you think that would be a good idea? Would that greatly enhance my ability/knowledge/skillset in order to prosper in the realm of real estate? Or are there better options out there? 

Thank you for any/all replies/comments/advice you are able to provide.

@Jazmine Bryant Hi back! Thank you for taking the time to reply. Congratulations on working on your own ent & small business degree! It definitely sounds like something I will want to pursue then. For me, I also feel like the structure of a degree program, especially in ent & small business, would help me alongside studying everything I can about real estate. Right now, even with all the resources that BP provides, I feel a bit lost in all the knowledge/expertise available to me. 

I started out with the idea for wholesaling (yes, simply because I have very little capital to work with right now) and wholetaling (I love the idea of doing some work on a property to make it more presentable being selling it to a fix & flip specialist). But I'm unsure as to whether that really would be a good route to go starting out. Seems like a lot of people have said that's actually one of the more difficult places to begin.

There's so much to learn, I'm starting to feel like a neurotic sponge at this point!
