Should I get a flipping degree?

Hi, I've recently fell in love with real estate investing and have been studying diligently for my first move. Before I decided to get into this I decided to make a career in the field of psychology and I'm glad it was in that order because it is something I still plan on doing. I fear it might not of happened had I found real estate investing first. Getting to the point...I'm currently receiving my BA in Psychology and was wondering if it would be worthwhile to also double major in the field of business. I know a degree is not needed to be successful when it comes to real estate, but would a degree in finance, management, or human resources compliment my goals of financial freedom as well? My school even offers a Masters in Real Estate. Does anyone hold any of these degrees or is willing to share on the value of them?

Do it! Education is the strongest investment you could ever make, hands down. And a business degree applies to so many areas of your life! Financial literacy gained through your course work will translate to better management of your finances and investments. Operational training will help you manage any organization whether it's a team at a w2 job, or your own company. And marketing applies to everything.
