My target market is part of the sales territory for my sales job.Currently I have closed four deals and have two more signed with a buyer and seller that should be closing within the next month.My spouse has Bachelors in Marketing and a MBA but has predominantly been a stay at home Wife/Mom since my son was born who are now 7.

There certainly is a lot of variables at play so send me a DM so I don’t have to flood this forum with an essay lol

I have a PhD in engineering from UW-Madison and in 2016 completed my MBA at the University of St Thomas with a finance emphasis.

I'm a sales tax auditor with my MBA this December and she is a registered nurse.

I have 3 years of post undergrad experience at an equities investment company, I recently finished my MBA from a top university and I am looking to become a commercial real estate broker in the Chicago area.I would love some advice on A.) breaking into the industry and B.) what are some of the benefits/drawbacks of different specializations.Any other advice that comes to mind would be greatly appreciated as well!

Also, just as with apartments having economies of scale (taught in MBA programs), geographic arbitrage (also taught in MBA programs) is also another microeconomic  principle that plays in here.

But if you think that path is leading most to the same level of wealth and security that a doctor or engineer or lawyer or MBA gets, you are mistaken.

I will be starting an online graduate school MBA program while working full time at a local bank as a credit analyst.

(Engineer, Doctor, Scientist, Dentist, Lawyer, Chemist, Nurse - sure then you need a degree) but if it's MBA, Psychology, Art, Music, Philosophy, etc - forgetta about it.

As Kindra Hall mentioned on her BP podcast #565, you lose money but you get tons of experience and it is still less expensive than MBA :) - highly suggest that podcast btw.Whatever you do, just keep doing it.
