I was enrolled and doing my MBA when I decided to pursue this avenue of investing instead, so the money I was paying out of pocket to cover MBA courses could instead be used towards educational content in real estate investing. 

I put an MBA on the wall a couple years ago, and it has honestly helped me; it helped give me the confidence I needed to start a business/businesses.

As far as the real estate interest goes, now is the time to seek out people well known in the industry as I guarantee you that they are much more willing to talk to a bright college student versus some guy off the street.Also what is stopping you from pursuing real estate while you attend college - if you dont take advtange of the clubs and orgs, then you can put all of your free time towards real estate and maybe make your college tuition up in investments (highly difficult but possible).I do have a BS and an MBA so I may be a little jaded...

You could begin your MBA part time or always go back later.

Received my undergraduate degree in Accounting from Monmouth University and am now going back for my MBA.  

I get a fair amount if good response because I have an MBA, and I list it on my business card.

I did most of my MBA in finance, but don't use much of that knowledge. 

They clearly have an internal talent issue, major ongoing platform integration issues, failed partnerships (Yapstone), and probably a bunch of MBA pricing consultants pitching hair brained ideas to “optimize” fees.
