<p>Hey everyone. I recently graduated with my Associates degree from a community college here in PA.. I did so good I got accepted to George Washington University in D.C. Over the summer I did a political internship and it was my first taste of an office setting working 9-5 albeit I was doing a lot of busy work.. Taking calls, mailing letters. etc. I had ants in my pants the whole time. I've always thought Real Estate would be cool to do and I am going to try it this Fall because I deferred my enrollment to George Washington U for the spring... Would I be a fool to not go get my degree from a good school like that? I got a decent financial aid package but it's still fairly expensive. I'd probably do a double major with Economics and Political Science or something like that. P.S. I'm 27 years old so I was a little bit of a late bloomer with school... I'd be like 30 by the time I graduated.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think...</p>
<p>I believe GW is actually one of the few schools with some type of formal Real Estate program, so that may be of interest.</p>
<p>I don’t understand the dilemma here. It looks like you already deferred admission to GWU for a year to try selling real estate, so you can do both - you’ll attend GWU in the Fall of 2014 after trying your hand at the real estate market.</p>
<p>I would personally suggest going ahead and going to GWU (either this fall or next fall, whatever works for you) and finishing your bachelor’s degree. By getting a BA, you open up many opportunities that you don’t have access to without one. But you can still dabble in real estate if you want to, after you get the BA.</p>
<p>It’s deferred until Spring 2014.</p>
<p>Also… I was accepted to Saint Josephs University here in Philly where I’m from… I tend to have more interest in Business then I do Politics at this point. I used to like Politics a lot but it just has gotten exhausting. </p>
<p>From a school rank prospective obviously GWU is way more well known but SJU has a pretty reputable business program… Do you think the disparity is very much between the two in that regard?</p>
