Hands down, major in marketing. Being a real estate professional is synonymous with being a marketing professional. Also, while you're attending college, study, pass and put into practice your real estate license before graduation. In retrospect, this is what I would have done differently. The earlier you get started in real estate, the closer you are to being a full time principal, which is the ultimate end game and reason we're all on this site, right?
