Should i drop out of college to be a real estate investor

[Nicholas Patrick]

I have okay grades in college. A 3.2 GPA which isn't bad for my first semester. I was thinking about dropping out though and pursuing real estate investing. Should I? If I don't drop out, besides real estate, what major could help me do the real estate work?

Get a business degree.  RE is just business - contracts, vendors, brokers, title companies.  All business stuff.  If you drop out you will find out that this is a business that takes most of the successful guys years to develop, and you could have been doing that WHILE attending college.  And what if you later decide real estate SUCKS (which is DOES during market downturns).  You don't want to have put all your eggs in one basket.

RE can be great.  But those who try to rush into it rarely actually end up doing it.  My 2 cents...
