Should I get a real estate related job?

[Chris Martino]

Hello BP, 

I am located in central New Jersey and currently have 1 buy & hold property and am searching for my second. In the past year I have become fairly obsessed with gaining knowledge and educating myself about real estate. 

My current job has a mediocre salary and I am indifferent about keeping it or not. I would love to jump fully into real estate including switching my corporate job to a full time real estate related job while still investing part time. Also I am hoping this would broaden my real estate network eventually leading me to additional deals. 

Aside from the most popular being a real estate agent I was wondering what other real estate related jobs people have had success with in the past. Working at a portfolio lender or title company were some thoughts but I am open to anything and wanted to see what other options were out there. 

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
