Recent Environmental Science grad looking to get into real estate

[Sarkis Azatyan]

Hey all, I recently just graduated from college as an Environmental Science major, but in my final year at university, I had become introduced to REI and like most became quickly obsessed with it. I want to build my career revolving as much of it as I can around real estate but I do not know how/where to start as an ES degree. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Sarkis, I have a closely related degree in cell biology as well as a degree in - wait for it - finance. Wearing my finance hat, I see tremendous value in a science degree. While the facts of the degree really don't transfer (I haven't thought about the G2 checkpoint in detail in years), studying the sciences teaches really strong analytical skills that you can put to use in sleuthing for deals and sussing out what are good deals vs wastes of resources. Think forming and testing hypotheses, just beware of analysis paralysis. I'm going to send you a connection request as I want to hear how you progress.
