Quote from @Mark Rock: I’m 25 years old, and I recently graduated with a degree in construction engineering. 

As someone who was in your shoes as long time ago, with a newly minted finance degree, I can tell you to just keep going.

I'm finishing up an MBA in Data Analytics at Clemson and hold a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering.I'm preparing to co-found an LLC with a fellow Army Captain as a 50/50 partnership focused on long-term rentals and BRRRR projects, or potential flips depending on cash flow.

My goal is to build a strong foundation for long-term financial freedom while learning from experienced investors here in the BiggerPockets community.Professionally, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a Specialization in Supply Chain Management and a Minor in Business Analytics.

I am very familiar with the industry and have a 4 year degree in RE, so technically can go for my brokers license immediately.
