I appreciate everyone for the input! Some very good points have been made. I would add that I'm not interested in completely changing career fields. REI would be a side gig, at least for the mean time until I can no longer juggle both and the RE starts to surpass my salary. That being said, what I'm interested in most about getting the degree is what it would provide for me such as the possibility for advancement in my current field, overall knowledge of money, finance and investments, and some of the business skills and models @Bill F. mentioned that I know I currently lack but that I would be able to apply to my RE investing. 

These replies have given me a lot to think about so I really appreciate that! 

Thanks for such a thoughtful reply! I really appreciate it. 

Hi all,

New member here from the Metro Detroit area! 
I’m currently working as an engineer but was thinking about going back to school for a masters degree in finance. I know it’s not necessary, but could it actually prove to be useful? I’m intrigued by the idea of learning as much as I can about finance and money in general in order to make smarter financial decisions. I’m still in my 20s and my goal is to start investing in real estate soon and eventually scale up to large apartment complexes. I’m interested in hearing about what you all have to say, especially those with a finance degree or similar and your experience
trying to apply your degree to your everyday life and real estate journey!

Thanks!
