If you really cannot choose then I really like his suggestion of the first broker that responds from one of your numerous cities "wins".Enter @James Wise He is from Cleveland give him a shout and pick his brain a bit.

So any career choice that will allow you to hone those skills is where I would focus.Buy right:NegotiationUnderwritingMarket analysiscommercial broker officeFinance right:Mortgage brokerbanking loan officerRaising capitalCreative financingTitle office (they see how all the deals are structured)Manage right:Property managementImplementing systemssolving problemsYou can never go wrong with sales.

You should also consider which route will mean graduating faster so you can get out there building experience, which is far more valuable than the specifics of your major.Large commercial real estate investing firms, such as REITs and national brokers like CBRE or Cushman & Wakefield will probably care more about the specifics of your degree and will also offer internships.Good luck in your career! 

The commercial brokers that are working with developers would be a good place to start I would think. 

I have been handing over wholesale buyers to MAJOR sellers / brokers for at least 20 years and have not made a DIME in Real Estate and Commercial Real Estate as a BIRD DOG, BIRD DOG helper, BIRD DOG asst., or plain old BIRD DOG, regardless of whether I signed an NDA, CA, or anything like it with the seller / broker.

You have to find another source-either a distressed property, something you can improve and up the value to another level, or perhaps develop relationships with brokers and wholesalers who will bring a deal to you because they know you as someone who has the ability to close.

Another broker explained this happened to friends of his, they live in a *very* nice house in a *very* nice area, and they had people all hours of the day driving up and looking in the windows in their remote area.Now, keeping an eye on those is a good idea, I just want you to know what you're really working with here.

As far as who I would be interested in meeeting, I would love to meet real estate investors, general contractors, brokers, and anyone else in the area that may be able to help me on my way to financial independence. 

I am not a broker.

I would focus on 1 area and build your team of contractors, brokers, agents and PM and become an area expert as they say.
