Good Morning Joker !
Glad to hear you are in college. I have a friend, yes at least one, who bird dogs for me. He is in his second year of college in Eugene Oregon. He made 48k last year working with me on Transactions. This week he has made 4k on one deal and is working on another than may net him 5k. He runs adds to build a retail, cash ,and wholesale buyers lists. Then he hands out cards and runs adds saying he buys houses. When the deals need more cash than he has he calls me, we have an agreed on deal payout for him then off to the races and repeat.
Oh, and if he drops out of school no more partnership deals with him but that's another story.

Point being why wait till summer ? He has a full class load ,lives on campus does all his negotiating on the phone, is 19 and won't need me soon. !
He has more cash than most students and his pals never see him at work ! and can't believe he makes so much from workin' the phone.

Partner up with some one who has your best interests at heart and will mentor you, make you work at it, and share the cash. It is a win win. Join a local club find a buddy and find homes to flip him and learn, you could be making money by the end of the month ! Lots.........Darin

Finance deal or Engineering.   banghead

Both will allow you establish a good base income if you need to continue your RE learning.  Once you are in RE both will allow you to advance quickly.  I majored in Finance and now work RE deals that involve securities...these are generally very large deals and my experience in Finance has been invaluable. Many of my clients are PE's (public engineers) and very successful RE Investors.  The knowledge they have makes them great as developers...and when they have a finance guy like me we are unstoppable.

Don't feel rushed.  I was bouncing between majors banghead until I came across real estate as a rehabber and property manager on campus properties...got addicted to the cash bobble, but realized that I wanted to be involved in the "paper" deal side of the business vs. the "bricks and sticks".

No matter what direction you go remember that passion is the number one ingredient for success. beer

Thanks for all the input i think i might go for criminal justice because it is a very easy major and will allow me to have more time for real estate.
