Is college worth a real estate investors time?

Hello BP community! Recently I decided to take this spring semester off from school to take the time and really decide if college / the degree path that I was on was really something that I wanted. Currently I am about a week away from finishing up my first flip. It’s going great and I really enjoy it! I’m set to close on my second flip on the 1st of March. My parents have been investing in real estate for 10 years and, growing up I was spending my weekends working at their properties while watching and learning as much as I could about real estate. I’ve been attending my local REIA meetings have surrounded myself with every book I can get my hands on that relates to real estate investing and business / entrepreneurship. I genuinely believe this is something I could excel in and actually enjoy doing. However, my biggest concern right now is regarding school. Is a college degree worth it, or should I spend that time & money that I would have to drop in school and instead, invest it into learning and getting to know real estate and networking? As a fellow real estate investor, what would you recommend? And why? I really appreciate all responses and look forward to reading them! Cheers, -Logan Jorns
