Jobs to work while starting Real Estate Investing Career?

[Jalen Henningsen]

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?
