         I want your opinion on whether or not I should finish my second degree in finance? I already have a BA in Political Science and a minor in Finance & Business Management. Is this even worth it? 

In my opinion, no it isn't worth it. 

You already have a degree (in Political Science, not exactly the most useful area) and now you want to dedicate more of your time getting another degree in an area where you don't even want to work?!?!?!?!

Haha thanks An

Hey Matt,

It will cost no money, I will use my GI Bill while on active duty. I like Finance but, I really don't need it to be in real estate. I was thinking maybe getting my real estate license instead.

Thanks, Eugene. I really don't know and I am really tired of school.

Hey Maria & Bill,

         Thanks for the advice. I love real estate and I just want to get in the industry part-time and start now, picking people's brains when it comes to the inner workings, as well make a little extra money on the side, the thing is I am an active duty Marine. Now I have a pretty flexible schedule working at Quantico so it's not unreasonable. I am just looking for something a couple hours a day after my workday or during the weekend. The employer doesn't' even need to provide me with any benefits.

Afternoon BP,

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions as a side-job? I am an active duty Marine looking to make a little extra money living in the Fredricksburg VA, area. I already have personal experience with real estate investing.

Thanks.

Morning everyone,

           Thanks for the responses. My brother's wife will manage the Airbnb, she has a property management business herself. My brothers' construction business will be building the garage and the Airbnb will be on the second floor. I am going to be just the 'investor,' because I am still on active duty.
