Pretty urgent advice needed
Hi guys posted before so I figured I would shorten it.
I have 5 weeks to decide if I would like to take a second undergrad degree in mathematics in my hometown (okay Russel group uni) or I can in September 24 go to study Real estate finance at a good b school or try to apply to a more reputable university.
Here’s the deal: I’m terrified of automation and enjoy research.
Do I have a chance at going into econometrics/ statistics work for a real estate firm from a PhD if I take the maths? Are jobs like this available/ going to be in demand in 6-7 years?
Does anytime have any advice for what I should do? Any would be appreciated
What value is all this extra education even going to add? TBH it would be better if you found a job now. Even something like appraisals would be better than stacking up a bunch of useless expensive education. We'll see this play out when all the people who went straight to grad school this year get out in two years and the people who have 2 years of experience on them, grab all the roles they want.
Trust me, its going to be a big wake up call.

Trust me. If CRE goes full AI like all the doomsayers think it will then a PHD won't matter. But if you are wrong, you just racked up hundred of thousands of dollars of worthless debt and you will be behind your peer group in experience. In 10 years, we will still be walking the property. Its just the inefficient nature of real estate.

Try and get experience now
Work force experience then go back to school if you really want to purse this - also if you really think you can get a PHD in econometrics might want to consider some type of data or computer science career.
