Civil Engineering B.S. with a Real Estate MBA?

[Jamila Thompson]

Hello everyone, 

I am a civil engineering graduate and I am interested in pursuing an MBA in Real Estate. I want to gain more knowledge on real estate investment (I have also been reading books, such as Rich Dad Poor Dad). I personally think it will be beneficial because real estate is an expansion of my civil engineering knowledge (i.e. construction, development). I think I will be able to connect the two fields to my advantage. 

From a real estate investor perspective, do you think it is beneficial for a civil engineer to have an MBA in Real Estate and why?
