Career Change
What CRE career paths are out there for someone who has been in commercial property management for the past 8 years? I enjoy the commercial real estate industry, but I’m over the property management aspect of it and am looking for a change. I have my CPM designation, a RE license, work for a large player in the area, and have ton of professional contacts.

I have thought about switching to facilities management, but fear that would come with many of the same headaches as property management. 

Any ideas?
