@Blake Ramsey I'm a college professor, and a real estate investor--so my perspective is somewhat from both sides of the coin here...First off, your post is well-written, which gives me the impression that you have some of the skills necessary to succeed in college, and it also gives me the impression that this is a topic you've been considering carefully; kudos.As they say, there is no "right" answer; it just depends on your goals, what you enjoy, what you're good at, what opportunities are available, etc.
