What to major in College for RE investing?

[Joshua Milam]

Hello everyone, I have a family friend that is about to go to college and is very interested in real estate investing and says that will be his future. He asked me what he should major in and I told him business administration, finance, accounting, etc. Although I am not 100% on what he should study. So my question is if you were dead set on going to college what would you study to help benefit your real estate career or what did you study that has helped you along the way.

Thank you!

If I knew I was going to spend my life doing REI, I would not waste the 4-5 years in college when it's pretty much worthless. You can learn anything you would in college a lot faster in the real world, and the lessons will stick because they are real. IMO, you're just throwing away money......and more importantly - time!
