Real Estate job advise

Hey BP!

Right now, I am a full-time server in a seasonal/high-end restaurant. I am trying to make as much money as I can this summer to move out of state, make a downpayment on my first home/investment (planning to house-hack) , as well as getting approved for loans such as an FHA and conventional loans. However, restaurant work is my only experience. When the restaurant job gets slow this fall, I plan to get a job that is real estate related so I can gain experience and it can create more cushion for a steady income (for loan purposes).

-Do you have any suggestions/advise for me regarding what job I should consider? For example, should I look into applying for brokerage companies, management companies, or just focus on being an assistant to real estate agent companies?

Side note- I am not handy but I am very organized and like schedules. Management is an interest. I am a newbie. I am looking to be a strict investor not an agent. 

*I would consider getting my license if that job was looking to train me but I would be moving out of NY shortly after. I am not sure if I would be affected by moving out of NY and/or not using my license if I ended up getting my license through this job.
