Crossroad in Career: Making the leap

Posted

I work as a Civil Engineer and have encountered a crossroad in my career. I’m quite miserable at my current position and have entertained the idea of a career change.

When I assess my goal of achieving financial freedom through real estate an engineering position doesn’t seem to align with the goal. With real estate in mind, I’ve considered using my construction management experience and pursue a position with a developer or large flipper to gain experience and knowledge that would further my own real estate pursuits.

Any advice or previous experience with making a drastic career change in the pursuit of REI? Also any ideas of potential jobs in REI for someone with civil engineering and construction management experience?
