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.

you've got a master degree in data analysis which is in super high demand with great pay, why do you want to start a job in real estate?

It's like a white belt in karate trying to put moves on a 6th degree black belt.

That said, as a parent, your job is also to point out that they "don't have a rich Dad", just you and that even if they take a self employment route, a college education and degree will do well beers for them.

While their income may indicate they live below the poverty line, college students are not in poverty nor do they have a degree....yet

It wasn't sugar coated at all.
