Bottom Line
This field currently leans value-positive.
The current preview range spans from $269,929 to $4,342,064. That spread is the core Degreeli point: field choice matters, but so does where and how you pursue it.
High upside
Program Category
Real Estate
Degreeli uses field pages to show whether value is consistent or whether the same major swings dramatically depending on the school, price point, and completion environment.

What To Compare
Stack payback speed against downside, not just upside.
Families should read this category through three questions: which school delivers the best risk-adjusted upside, how fast the cost gets recouped, and how much value evaporates once completion risk enters the picture.
