Career Path in Real Estate Investing

Hello,

For the investors that have a degree in business (specifically Finance) what career path has helped you scale and invest in real estate investing?

The end goal is to be able to syndicate large deals.

Any tips of companies to work for, skills/designations/certifications to attain to improve my skills?

Current background: Finance student looking for an entry analyst role in a firm that focuses on acquisition where I can learn which I will utilize later on to help me with acquiring deals.

Thank you,

Karl
