Career Direction in Gov - need advice

Grace B.

Posted

I plan to work in Gov for two more years before retirement. I can stay on where I am (non real estate related) or find another job as a Realty Specialist which involves learning acquisition and disposition of land, commercial buildings, easements, licenses, permits, right-of-ways and commercial real estate leasing for 2 yrs.  I have prior commercial real estate experience (CCIM designation), so this is a refresher of my previous profession as a real estate broker.  Do I really need to go that route to learn that much so that I can be more versatile doing land deals during my retirement?  or should I just spend $5000-$10000 to join a real estate coaching program to learn on my own during the next two years after work? 

One of the motivation to switch to Realty Specialist job is that I am always fond of real estate and will do well. On the other hand, I am doing well at my current job with 4 yrs  experience.  

Should I stay or change job? Both job pays the same. But the new job requires me to move.   Your opinion will be greatly appreciated.
