Compensation - long term - VC or Real Estate Development

Hi everyone,

Very interested in the two industries as mentioned (venture capital and commercial real estate). Looking to do a masters in real estate or an MBA for vc soon. Over the long term, which would make more in terms of comp with a decent lifestyle (not too familar with hours but would like to hear about it in explaination)? this would include carry + bonus + base.
