Recommendation for an up and coming investor
Hello, my name is Logan and Im 18 years old and after careful consideration I've decided that I want to make Real Estate investing my career. After willingly moving out of my parents house from Alberta to BC at 17 it has really opened my eyes to money management and the importance of getting an education in order to live a satisfying life. I believe in todays market that a post secondary education is crucial to gain the knowledge and expertise required to truly succeed in this profession, so what I'm asking from the bigger pockets community is to help guide me in the right direction (particularly choosing a degree). So far I've applied to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops for the bachelor of business Administration with the intent of majoring in Finance. I believe this course will teach me the ins and outs of finance and give me a good understanding of what I need to do to in order to be successful. I understand that investing initially requires a good amount of money so I'm still deciding what to do initially after graduation. Either get a job related to my degree or pursue becoming a Realtor but I'm not 100% confident I have the people skills required to be successful in that field of work. Any suggestions on which degree to take or what to do after graduation or even now?
