Looking for some advice (education)
Hi everyone, I am new to BP and am looking for some career advice. I am a prior service Air Force firefighter looking for a career change and I’m thinking about chasing my passion for real estate. My wife’s occupation brought the two of us to San Antonio TX and I am now contemplating whether I should take the plunge and get my BS in Real Estate Finance with an option to minor in facility and property management, construction management or finance. However, my alternative would be to settle for a degree in supply chain management. My main concern is that I am unsure as to how marketable a real estate degree would be vs. a degree like supply chain management which appears to be much more specialized and marketable in San Antonio. Ultimately, we would like to relocate to my home state of Colorado however I am undecided as to which degree plan would benefit my family and I. My dreams and aspirations involve myself owning and running a profitable company within real estate although I still do not know in what niche. Any advice of information you may provide is greatly appreciated.
