College degree in real estate

Hello BP community! So I am in my last semester of completing a general associates degree. I am 23 yrs old and I was at one point a nursing major but I truly hated it and so I decided to drop out. After this semester I plan to take a semester off from college do really decide what I want to do with my life because it feels like I'm at a crossroad. I have visited the idea of going to school for 4 yrs in order to get a bachelors in some kind of real estate degree, there are many. However, I am conflicted because I do understand the huge amount of debt that this will get me in but fear keeps telling me that the only way to be successful in the Realestate world is to learn these things in school. Any successful real estate investors that can share some of their experiences in life degree-less in the field of real estate would be very much appreciated. Also, I don't want to get a four year degree so that I can sit and work from a desk for the rest of my life!

I got my real estate investing degree in the streets. I read a few books, saved some money, and jumped in.
