Jobs to work while starting Real Estate Investing Career?

Hi everybody! I am curious as to whether there is a job that will provide a decent income and be beneficial for a multi-family real estate investor. I have a degree in finance and marketing, I currently am a credit analyst at a local bank, and I plan to house hack in Des Moines and branch out to a bigger city after some experience/cash saved up. I know having a real estate license would help, but if I plan to branch out to bigger city's is it worth the time to acquire and build a name for myself? Or is there another job that might be better?

@Jalen Henningsen Great question!  Any role that would give you experience in the multifamily business would give you a leg up as an investor.  That could be as a lender, seller or property manager and each of these roles looks somewhat different depending on the type of multifamily real estate (duplexes, 4plex, 25, 50, etc)  you are planning to invest in.
