Does REI and College go together?
Is it necessary for a Real Estate Entrepreneur to attend college if he/or she is planning to be a full time investor. If so, what would you study to help boost your career?

The more you know, the more power you have. Specifically in "money" and Law.
1 - Learn about the banking system and how money actually works.
2 - Learn about contracts and what you can/can't do
3 - Learn about marketing and advertising
4 - Learn about Business Management
5 - Learn about Accounting (not the same as money)
6 - Learn about Business Planning
7 - Learn about the internet and networking (this is computer networking)
8 - Learn about using software...mainly Microsoft Office, and your accounting software of choice
9 - Learn how to speak to people in groups and 1 on 1's
10 - ...and last, but most definitely not least, Learn how to Learn...and NEVER STOP.
