Equating someone's major with their earning potential, especially having the private sector as the mechanism,  will almost certainly lead to a decrease in overall human capital.

@Sean KellerI invest in Columbus RE, huge growth to come from recent additions to the tech sector (google, intel, amazon, honda, and many start ups).

I was thinking about the locksmith sector.

Let's get real - get some education for free from many different sectors of this site.

Certain sectors such as high education have higher than average increases of costs because such services cannot be imported.

Definitely reach out to @Kris Benson as he is very knowledgeable in this sector. 

I wanted to steer clear of STR because all the AirBnB laws keep changing, and with economic slow down and layoffs in tech sectors which is an area of extreme disposable income to travel etc, it just feels like the wrong time for me personally to invest in an area where discretionary travel is likely to be the first to go from people's budgets as they tighten their household budgets.

Your economy is so tied to debt and tech sector speculation.

I am moving toward the multi-family sector, having been a buy and hold land lord of SFH's, duplexes, and a quad plex since 2005. 

I've had a passion for this sector since I was a kid and I'd love to actually make it a reality but would love to get the experienced peoples advice!
