How important is a bachelors degree as a real estate investor?
Hello there, I am new to the Bigger Pockets Community and real estate investing in general but I am eager to learn! One of the first things I am curious about is how important is finishing a college degree in order to be successful in this business? I am 23 years old, I left college half way through to pursue a career as a chef. Two years later I realized that was not the career I wanted and real estate has been something that was always in the back of my mind as something I would love to pursue! Should I go back and finish my business degree? Or can I be a success without it?
