Jobs that help real estate

[Sean Liszka]

As a college student graduating next year, I have been trying to learn as much as possible about real estate through books, podcasts, and any other outlet that offers help. I am currently studying finance at school, and like many students am not really sure what I want to do after I graduate. What I do know, is that I want to be self-employed. I would like to get a job out of college that will help me do this, specifically in the real estate industry.

As mentioned, I am a Finance major at the University of Iowa. My question to bigger pockets is what do you recommend for a job that would help me in the future of real estate investing? Thank you all for your help and enjoy the weekend!
