Highly recommend the move out on your own while in school scenario if it’s not too expensive.
I also think moving out for college provides great life experience especially for independence. Currently, his plan is to stay local and live at home.
Thanks @Nathan Gesner! That is good insight into the property management piece.
@Ray Hage Sorry, I was vague. His scholarship would be gaming related, playing on the e-sports team. He will be able to major in whatever he chooses. Thank you for your input. I agree management courses would be helpful.
@Danny Gonzalez Thank you for your kind words and well wishes. I appreciate you sharing your personal experience and your advice.
So far it sounds like the keys are finance, accounting, communication, and management. Thank you all!!

Hey Lindsay, great to have you here at the BP forums! Obviously, your son's preferences play a huge role in what he will enjoy/be drawn to study. For real estate/investing, I have found that an understanding of finance and accounting can be the biggest benefit (if he can take extracurricular courses on sales too that would be helpful). I personally did a double major in accounting and finance and while I do not practice accounting as a CPA or bookkeeper or anything it has helped me tremendously to navigate real estate and understand the tax code or where to find answers to tax questions. Hope this helps!
Thanks, Clayton, for the welcome and personal example.
My son is a senior in high school. His post high school plans the last couple of years was to get his real estate agent license, with the ultimate goal of investing. Those two things remain the same. Now he is in a position where he could potentially go to college for little to no money on scholarships for gaming. I'm not a he must go to college type of parent. However, as a young adult it is great life experience, so if he can go for cheap, why not?
Question is, which majors would be most useful? I understand it isn't required and could vary depending on which type of investing he gets into.
*I joined this forum for myself, as I'm in the learning phase of my plan to use my divorce settlement to start real estate investing. Yet, here I am in typical parent fashion, making my first BP post about my child instead of myself.
