- Million Dollar Listing star Fredrik Eklund currently leads a real-estate team closing $15 billion in property sales, but he didn’t need a four-year degree in the field to make a name for himself. While schooling can help people figure out how to crunch the numbers, the Gen X multimillionaire says there are certain skills, like communication and negotiation, that are hard to learn in the classroom. He suggests Gen Z hit the “mean streets” for years to build their real-estate portfolios—no diploma required.
While AI comes for high-paying jobs like coding and consulting, many Gen Zers are stuck on what they should study in college—or if they should even shell out for a costly diploma at all. Luckily, there’s one profession that doesn’t require a degree and can lead to multimillion-dollar success: real estate.
