If you could go back in time and get educated differently?
My daughter will be graduating from high school this year and wants to be like her mom and dad, real estate investors, she asked us for advise if she should go to college if so what classes should she sign up for or if she should go to a trade school. She wanted to know what classes we took, we looked at her with blank faces because we didn't even finish high school, but we don't want her to struggle as much as we have to get to the point where we are. We would like for her to go to college or take some courses to help her with her journey in real estate investing. Honestly we don't know what to tell her, like I said we didn't finish high school so we don't know what classes she should take in college for this kind of field. So I ask the BP community to help us out in this dilemma.
If you could go back in time what would you have done differently with the choices you made after graduating from high school and if you went to college what would you of majored in or what classes would you have taken that would of benefited you now as a real estate investor?

I don't know if I am to late to comment but I would think a business degree with a specialty in marketing. The majority of this business is simple book keeping and people managing, but what is going to make you a huge success is the ability to get your message/product out and in front of people in a coherent manner.
