Real estate is always a local game, and though there are some national factors that influence prices, tenancies, profitability, and the like, there are far more geo-specific factors that can make a property a great rental or a nightmare.

Every time I start to feel like I 'wasted' my time on my degrees, I am reminded in some small way how those choices have helped/influenced me today.For me, it was a B.F.A. in graphic design and photography, and then an M.A. in Digital Media & Art/Technology.
