Property Information Collector - Appraiser Entry Job?
Hi all

I'm in my last year of undergrad study and I've been interested in pursuing an appraiser career for a while.

I just got an intern job offer from a crown corp (Canada) for property information collector position. Would this be a good place to get the feel of appraiser? 

At the same time I got other offer that pays much better about 40% more than crown corp job. And this is full time permanent offer. But the job is quite similar to what i did in the past which I didn't enjoy much. So not too attractive but I think I can use the money to pay off my student loan. 

I wonder If I should get the good paying job first while taking appraiser courses for the designation then pay off my debt then pursue appraiser when I finish taking the course.

I'm torn between the two options. 

Which would be better? What would you choose if you were me?
