Property management isn't rocket science but does have an artform that takes a while to understand and juggle all the hats.

This is the kind of comparison I would expect from some Anti-Science Karen/Ken on Facebook who is twisting everything to pretend she/he is right. 

Live cheaply.2) Apply for financial Aid and scholarships.3) Transfer into a good computer  science program at a state school (in your state).

I have and engineering and Masters degree in Computer Science and still I think I learned way more on the job in first year then all my years in school.

I get it that the jazzy glitzy fiction stories sell best "the end is near, the end is NEAR, THE END IS HERE!!!!!!!"

If you were to heavily insulate the inside wall of an old double/triple wythe brick building the external wythe may no longer dry out thoroughly and be subject to excessive freeze - thaw damage.The best way to insulate old brick buildings is from the outside - which has the added advantage of turning all that brick into a thermal mass in the conditioned space ... alas, most owners of old brick buildings are unwilling or unable (due to historic designations) to insulate over the external brick.There are some informative studies and papers by John Lstiburek and the folks at Building Sciences Corporation about dealing with old brick buildings.

If you can handle the math and science I would suggest that.It has the added bonus of being in demand in the job market if you end up needing a 9 to 5.   

If you can find something else with better returns and move on it quickly, then maybe that makes sense but I believe that investing and especially real estate investing is more an art than a science - at this point some early experience is worth more than any metric you can calculate on paper.

Selling a home isn't rocket science, but when a deal goes sideways, having experience helps. 

I’ve got an excellent science background (although physics was my primary focus, not biology) and would enjoy reading all about it.
