I made a commitment to take on an internship, student teaching to be specific, that will allow me to change positions within the prison while completing my graduate degree (paid for via GI Bill) that will be higher in pay and with more stable hours. 

If you have a masters degree as a real estate analyst or similar then the pay can be decent but usually no upside.If you are wanting to become a commercial real estate agent you first need to go to the real estate schools and pass the tests with the state exam as well to get licensed.

When I graduated college with a degree in biology and having no desire to work in the medical field, I had to take a low paying job at a bank.

I think if I could go back in time I might have second thoughts as to pursuing a college degree.  

I am also a Realtor member of the Tampa Bay Area's GTAR with 50,000+ members.Some of the services available to Realtor's clients are:Via the MLS to its 50,000+ Realtors & their Caravan toursProfessional easy to read signage with brochure dispensersMinimum of 25 professional photographs on MLS Real or virtual staging on those photographsDrone views of home and neighborhoodTwilight views giving a warm and homey feeling Narrated Video Tours on the MLS which then feeds Realtor.com, Zillow, Homes, Redfin, + many more a 3-D floor plan with exact measurements for the MLSa 3-D 360 degree tour of every room in the house for the MLS a Dollhouse view of the house on the MLS 4 page 8 1/2 x 11" Color Brochures with 26 photographs Social Media Campaigns via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc.Well Advertised Open houses on .coms & socialSince 95% of today's buyers are using the internet to search for homes, and 50% actually found the homes they bought on the internet, it makes sense to put the home on the internet with its own website, using its address as the domain name.Consultation on upgrades, curb appeal, and declutteringWhether it makes sense to an investor to use a Realtor or not is an individual business decision.

Unfortunately, I have prior experience or degree (yet).

I have no experience or degree but I'm willing to volunteer to work with active investors however you may need me.

Typically educational costs incurred to obtain a designation that can qualify you for new position are not deductible, costs incurred that maintain or improve your skills within a current position are deductible.For example continuing professional education taken by a CPA to maintain the CPA license would be deductible, but if that same CPA took law classes that led to a Law degree (so the CPA could now practice Law) that would not be deductible.

I have a Computer Information Systems degree from Frostburg State University.

You build from here.Along with the insurance on each entity, this provides a high degree of asset protection.
