From my experience a degree was mandatory, but it seemed like any bachelor was sufficient. I only know of a couple brokers who had real estate majors or the like. Most guys had finance, mgmt, sales, or just general business majors.  Half had an MBA or some grad school. The big players all seem to have attended and proceeded to drop out of grad school to focus on their career and those guys all made seven figures plus consistently.
