Commercial brokerage wants to hire me but wants me to get a degree while I work with them. What works best with CRE?
I was recently involved with the sale of three commercial building. The buyers agent was very impressed with my negotiating skills and my problem solving during the transaction.

He offered me a job but all his sales staff have MBAs or Masters in some sort of business background. He doesn’t want to upset everyone by hiring some nobody with limited post secondary education and no formal training. 

He said if I enrolled in some sort of degree program at the local university he’d help me get started as a commercial agent. 

I’ve been thinking about going back to school and finish the degree I started 10 years ago.

What would you recommend? My strongest skill is my negotiating and I’d like to build on that. They offer several business degrees as well as a pre law degree and a few other options. 

I’m leaning towards the pre law degree however it’ll be more or less useless to me if I ever decide to do something else.

I’m open to any and all options.
