I’m in a real estate related occupation and I have to say that it very much depends on what your goals are. Advanced degrees don’t tend to count for much in most of the RE occupations, especially those areas that an entrepreneur might get involved with. Where you’ve been and what you’ve done tend to count for more.
On the other hand, if you went to work for one of the larger corporate concerns the degree might pay off – after you pay your dues by starting at the bottom.
