Real Estate vs Corp Fin

Posting here just to spit ball some career paths/ ideas as I am young and feel I would like to get as much info as I can. I currently work in the construction/building material space. Prior to that I worked briefly in wealth management in the Northeast region. 

I have been thinking or going back to school in one form or another. Was thinking either NYU for their MSRE program or a MBA program at a local school (think Rutgers, Fordham, Drexel, ect.) My thoughts would be MSRE to stay in the real estate/ development space, or an MBA to get into a Corp Fin role (maybe something in pharma would be cool).


Can anyone speak on this. Their experiece, Career growth, earning potential....any insight would help. Thanks. 

 

Thanks for the insight. As I am thinking about continuing education.. do you think it would be better to get into a MSRE program given my background or would a MBA give me some more options?
