Looking for advice on W2 related to CRE

Hello everyone!
I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question, it is more personal but focuses directly on CRE.
I have a bachelor's in civil engineering and have worked as an assistant project manager for commercial construction projects already. Right now, I am fixing air planes for the air force because it pays more and I needed the benefits for a medical issue. I will be done with planes full-time on Dec. 31st and go back to my 1 weekend per month schedule.

Ultimately, I want to invest in commercial assets, preferably multifamily or mixed-use. The commercial projects I worked on before were mainly for higher education and healthcare.

I am looking for a career directly related to commercial real estate so that I can work in a field I am interested about AND gain knowledge/experience I'll need down the road to partner on projects. I have been reading through career sites and browsing job postings but most of the suggested positions that populate are for realtors and brokers.

I am not hellbent on being a project manager; what other career paths are there for someone wanting to gain exposure in commercial real estate. Either development, management, acquisition, financing, underwriting, etc. ? I'm sorry if it is a dumb question. I am trying to work in a field more related to my end goal rather than just working to make money.
