Right now I'm not but I'm trying to be an investor and a developer so I am doing an MBA in real estate development right now. 

I'm married, have a BS in Film, finishing my MBA in Technology Management this December.

@Richard Decoste If reading a 200 page book seems monotonous try imagining it with a more exciting title like How To Not Go Broke In Brooklyn On Your First Real Estate Deal.That may sound harsh but the reality is you are competing against people who spent 200 grand on a real estate MBA and they definitely read more than 200 pages on how to crunch the numbers.

Is an MBA necessary?

Hey P NW, not trying to step on your toes here, but I believe J Scott has an MBA and I'm sure a very thourough understanding of economics.

Now, after accumulating my MBA, I'm looking for supplemental income that I can turn into a full-time career down the road.

I  always see Wharton being at the top of finance, real estate, etc. in posts and I read that to get in to Wharton you obviously need great grades (which I have) and something like great diversity or something and write a compelling essay on why you should be at Wharton(it's obviously harder than I made it sound), after Highs school I plan on enlisting in the Army for about 6 years, I'm an eagle scout and I am related to a founding father, other than that I dont have much more to put for the "Diversity/Culture section" Back to degrees the reason I don't want to get just a real estate degree is I would like something to fall back on in financing or something similar to real estate developing if the risk in real estate gets too high for me.

She has an MBA. 

(Much more important than pursuing an MBA in my opinion.)Most millionaires usually have between 20-25% exposure to the stock market, more often then not, the allocation is closer to 20%.
