What's the best job to aid your real estate development?

[Christian Bors]

Listening to the podcasts, Josh and Brandon have mentioned several times that newbies should get a job that's somehow involved in real estate.  This way you can learn the industry and educate yourself while saving money to eventually start your own career.  My question is; what is the best job for a newbie?  Is it a banker so the can learn the financing aspect?  Is it a property manager so they can learn the tenant process?  Is it an appraiser, real estate agent, contractor, commercial lender, insurance producer, handyman etc?  Obviously each position requires different skills and have different advantages i.e. compensation.  With that being said, what is the best job for a newbie who wants to develop their real estate skills?
