Do both but drop the uninteresting major.\n\nI'm a real estate agent in USA I have been for years.  If you drop out of school you will get to a point when you will wish you completed your degree.  Bill Gates said his biggest regret was not graduating from Harvard. I went back to school 8 years after high school I could have been done 4 years earlier and done EXACTLY the same in my business.\n\nYou should be able to do both just fine.  The first few years most agents just are getting their feet wet anyway and don't do much.  It will help you appear more established.  Get your license (I don't know how it works in the UK or Australia wherever you are) while going to school.  When you graduate you will be able to tell people you graduated from college in real estate and also have +4 years as an agent.  This is important to clients and potential investors\n\nIf you don’t like computer science change your major to something more up your alley.  Economics might be a good route.  Businessmen who don't go to college may say that they don't think college is important but most of the time they really do.\n\nMy real estate broker (is a good friend of mine) was looking to get a new designated broker.  One of the things he enjoyed about the guy he said "dude he has a college degree in this stuff".

If you aren't happy with your IT manager job, then by all means make the switch.  You can always keep your real estate license active and do it part time as well.  I think with your sales experience you should do quite well selling Mercedes.  Remember you'll be working nights and weekends and I see more and more Mercedes on the road now than ever.  Why are you still living with your parents?  Have you considered going back to school?

Actually, both are profitable. I would suggest to do both. Both areas are great areas to specialize in, especially once you get your realtor's license/certification. Both professions require certification/license. If you cannot get a buyer, you can always be an appraiser for companies and individuals. Why not do both? You should always strive for higher and better. You are on the right track! Go for it!

I dont think you have to, but I work for Toll Brothers a company that builds luxury homes and they only hire interior decorators to decorate the "model home" and they all must have a degree in interior design in order to be considered. So it would be worth it go ahead and pursue that degree

Why not try your local college, they usually have courses in that field, and it will be cheaper than forking out £2500.  If your on any benefits you may get your fee waivered if you go to any college.

computer science, because the tend is down now but it will increase soon and when it does you better be on the money train and it's not that hard

Um...well, considering the market in real estate lately, I would not recommend it at all.  If you want something stable, do not go into real estate.  However, the courses are inexpensive.  I know of one community college in Ohio that does provide financial aid.  The courses are short, too.  You can get the courses done in a matter of months.  If you live in Ohio, contact me and I will tell you the info.  However, the chances of you living in Ohio close to the community college where I live is slim to none.  I would suggest looking into community colleges near you.  Again, if you are looking to improve the lives of your children.  Do not go into real estate.  There are other alternatives, but they may take longer than a few months.  The pain, I believe, is worth the gain.  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Having a degree - no.  Having the knowledge - for sure!\n\nReal estate is a business.  Whatever skills you have as far as "running a business" better than the 99% of Realtors who think it's a cool job without a boss and you can take off anytime you like.... get the picture?

I think that if you love both, then perhaps you should try to car pool before losing either one. If that doesn't work then it seems you'ld rather move then lose your job, so try that. You may end up finding another house you love! Keep your job, it's not as easy to find work you love!

That is rough, really.  If you just finished undergraduate school, think about going to grad school for something you really want to do.  I had a friend who did his undergrad in history, a master's in history, did not get into the PhD program in history, and wound up getting a Doctorate in computer science.  You don't necessarily have to have a major in what you go to grad school for.\n\nDo you now have to pay back the $30K?  That will influence what you do next, of course.

I would pursue what it is that you love.\n\nIf you are just doing something for money, you aren't going to be committed to doing it well.  That means that you don't get the best paying jobs--and you may even lose your job because of poor performance.  This is all assuming that you are interested enough to actually complete the degree.\n\nIf you have a love for something, you will find a way to support yourself doing it--because you have that passion that will lead you to excel.  Passion is worth something far greater than money.\n\nFollow your heart.

Depends on where you are. If you are in the UK and have a degree then you can take a 1 year post-graduate course in property (find a course that is accredited to the Royal Institue of Chartered Surveyors) and then you will be able to find a job with any of the big real estate firms, or at least get on a graduate programme somewhere. \nI am a real estate executive in London, although i was did my degree in the States. I did a degree in English and then a one year conversion course at a university in London in Real Estate Management and got on a graduate programme with a big firm. They then train you up for two years and then you have to write what is called a critical anaylsis and present it to a panel of three professionals who question you on it. If you pass, you're then a Member of the RICS and get the letters MRICS after your name.\n\nOverall, I have found the real estate business very profitable, its easy to get promoted and work up the ladder once you have your MRICS qualification and the financial incentives are great. Also there are so many different areas to work in - you can let office space, retail space, buy and sell large buildings or portfolios of property, be a planning advisor, be a building surveyor, an estate agent, work with local authorities to develop land into new homes or leisure complexes - the list is endless. \n\nTry www.rics.org for more information - and good luck!!

No one can tell you if you should do it, Mike.  You have to make your own decision and then whatever comes from that decision learn from it.  I'd be inclined to recommend you go for it as it is probably an opportunity and experience you shouldn't let pass you by.  However, if you have a family you're supporting, stick with the two jobs.  If it's just you, go for it.  Live life to its fullest.  Make mistakes and become a success!

This depends on what your goals are. Do you want to be a hands on techie for most of your career (study software ngineering and design, heavy on database), or do you want to cut through the field work quickly and move in to management (study software design, data telecommunication and lots of accounting/finance)?\n\nMost importantly pick a field that genuinely interests you, or you won't be able to stay at it long enough to make your money.

I would go for the tests. A degree is more important than your present job, as it will open up more opportunities.

I am a computer science student. It is a very very hard course..I still couldn't believe I have survived for the past three years. I have classmates in some minors and majors who are IT and have dealt with them and had an overview of their course subjects. For me IT is easier and what I should've taken because I love to learn more on animations and other technologies than conceptual theories on programming or software development, even systems analysis and design. If you are on those - you should get computer science. Yes, I think fashion technology is a very worthwhile course. But get an overview first and ask yourself a thousand times.
