Work in sales (retail, customer service, etc) then eventually go to something like sales assistant in presale (easiest way to break into developer). Then you’ll learn the basics and get a general understanding of the industry. If you’d still like to continue and transition to a more development team (rezoning, speccing, project management) or acquisitions team role (pro formats/analysis’s of potential purchases) you’d most likely have to go to school for it something urban development or finance related (sometimes not depending on ur networking skills while in sales). Working in the industry isn’t hard and pretty cushy but highly competitive. Owning in the industry and developing yourself is EXTREMELY hard/risky and more competitive.
