Dazed and Confused Student!

[Adam Eckerman]

Hello everyone!

A first-time poster on BP here, and it's a bit of a heavy one! I'm in my mid-20s and recently had a career dilemma. I've always been very interested in real estate but didn't know exactly what to do. I love technology and design, so I figured I would get my Masters in Architecture, and eventually be an architect-developer.  

I moved to Boston almost 2 years ago to pursue my master's degree. When I moved here I renovated a condo. I absolutely loved the process (even living in the condo while the reno was going on). The more I study real estate, the more I feel that my architecture degree isn't helping me much, I'm not being taught to sell, negotiate, read/understand contracts, understand clients or anything much beyond the actual design of architecture. I'm also currently getting my real estate license, and I will have a job with a broker once I get the license. As of now my career path includes flipping some places, possibly have a multi-family unit, and then eventually get into development. 

Would it be worth leaving the architecture school to pursue another type of degree like a Master of Science in Real Estate which will be more beneficial to real estate, or even an MBA perhaps? 

Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
