Why would an investor put money into an instrument with some degree of risk that yields lower than what they could get "risk-free" (risk-free in theory anyway)?

There are even many mid level tech jobs, BS degree, at 250k with options.

Hi All,By way of introduction, my name is Max, and I'm currently studying an Economics degree at University in the UK.

I'm coming at it from the finance side; I'm currently wrapping up my graduate degree in finance. 

Most real estate investors are facing some degree of adversity right now but good leadership communicates well and instills confidence.

I think having an interest in real estate investing at any age is wise and you can always fall back on your degree should you choose.First, can you make a career and future out of property management?

That and the college courses I took in college taught me a lot since my business degree was emphasized in real estate and everything I took in college enabled me to take the license test without having to take any extra courses and at that time you could get a broker license right away without having a salesperson license first.  

I graduated from college 35 years ago with a degree in Accounting.
