Formal Education
Hey there BP family! So I've been a member for a while, gleaning knowledge from the big brains, but this is my first direct question.
So I'm a big fan of the school of hard knocks; there's not much studying to be done and you learn the lessons real fast. However, even though I have been marginally successful, I keep getting asked about my formal education. I have a BA in finance (concentration in real estate) but I'm considering the MBA route. My BA gives me a feel good when I look at it, it was an accomplishment. But I can't necessarily say it has truly impacted the style in which I invest. So, I'm curious about the thoughts of the collective.
How much formal education do you have? Did it really help you get a few more pennies on the dollar? If you were to approach it in the aspect of formal investment, did your education yield an ROI you would bank on again?
I look forward to your answers, and thank you for the wisdom I've soaked up in the past from your conversations.

NO! Andrew, who is asking about your formal education? Thats really weird. Banks and investors shouldn't care if you even graduated from HS if you have a past record of success. Spend the money on another deal.
