Thoughts on the best college degree/classes to have as a beginner

Hi BP! By this winter i will be retired from the military! I plan on going to school full time once i transition and I would very much appreciate the advice of people here on BP about what route to take as far as degree plans that best suit the profession of Real Estate investment. I want to be a part of every aspect of REI eventually, but my focus has, and i believe always will be buy and hold. I've listened to about half of the episodes of the BP podcast "I will finish all of them", and i hear a common theme of Real Estate Brokers, Agents, CPA's, etc. I'm just wondering if anyone has looked back and said "I would have loved to have been more educated on (fill in the blank) during the early days of my journey. By the way, school is paid for, for a four year degree, and I will get housing allowance for whatever area i choose to attend. In case you might be thinking i'm putting myself in debt. Any advice and experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for time!

@Elizabeth Wilson That is great advise! Thanks for the input. Congrats to you and your husband by the way! I would love to have a similar graduation story in the near future.
