What would be the best college degree to compliment my REI career?

[Jeffrey Lester]

Hello, everyone! 

I'm heading off to college in late August, and I was curious as to which degrees could influence the success of my real estate investing journey. 

My top picks are accounting, business management, and marketing. I am also strongly considering information systems/computer science. 

What do you guys think? 

As always, thanks so much for your time and suggestions!

Those all sound great. I strongly recommend a degree that companies want to hire. General business is great base level, but my friends didn't really get the jobs they were wanting. I got an engineering degree, average student, and had tons of options. My wife is a nurse and same thing, everywhere we moved we both got jobs immediately.  I'm no college expert or anything, but all my buddies who got general, non specific degrees (like management) and weren't at the top of their class weren't happy about making 30k less than me. Accounting, engineering, CS, law and other more narrow fields make you more marketable in my opinion anyway. However, you still need to be happy. 

Good luck!
