Best real estate career for future investor

First I would like to apologize if this question was already asked I'm knew to this forum. My question is before even thinking of investing should I get a career in real estate like an appraiser or anything else in that same field? Or should I continue working at my job at a body shop and learn that business but my actual goal in life is to get into real estate. I just don't know a job Inside of real estate that pays enough to get started into investing. Any comment would be appreciated this is the question that's in my head every single day.

I would probably lean toward broker as the best real estate career to prepare you for investing. You get practice valuing properties, negotiating deals and build contacts with sellers, investors and the like. That being said, I can't offer you any advice on whether to stay with your job at the body shop as there are just to many variables I don't know.
