I am considering a second job to help fund my new re wholesaling business. My long term rei goal in short is to own rentals of course. That being said, what are some jobs that i could consider that will actually be beneficial to my immediate and long term rei goals (so I can earn and learn simultaneously). Of course real estate agent is one but what are some others?

You shouldn't really need a second job to fund your wholesaling, unless you need money for your bandit's & yellow letters.

Really deponds on your over all goals.  If you want to do fix-n-flip long term, then working with a contractor or handy-man could be educational.  If you want to do bun-n-hold long term, then working for a property manager could add to your education.  

I have never worked in any of the RE trades other than owning rental properties.  I know that I can't do it all, so I get those on my team that can.  I don't know every aspect of the law, so I hire a good lawyer, I don't know all the accounting & tax rules, so I hire a good accountant etc.  I try my best to gain a solid understanding in each subject, but I don't have the time or reserve mental capactiy to learn everything about everything.
