Education in Real Estate?
Hey everyone! I just made this account and I am a complete newbie here so any advice here is much appreciated! I have a Bachelor's degree in International Studies, and minors in Business and Spanish. I would love to ultimately become financially independent but I am willing to work unpaid internships etc. to get experience until I can branch out on my own. I support myself and travel the world by working online (teaching English and social media marketing). However, I'm ready to start putting my efforts and saving up more into something more directed. I want to be as educated as possible before I begin investing and start off very slow and cautious. Here is the other thing: I have a fund from my grandparents that can only be used for graduate school. They have been pushing me to use it and I was planning on getting an online MBA (I go back and forth between a lot of countries so I really would like the flexibility at the moment to do it online). From what I have read on the forums and listened to on the podcasts etc. so far, it doesn't really seem like it is necessary to get a master's and maybe my energy would be better directed getting more practical and hands on experience. However, I have the money for the degree... what would you do? Thank you guys! I am looking forward to getting to know you all better.
