A Salaried Analyst Job that isn't on the computer as much
Ive been in CRE for two years, have been interested in real estate since college, have a great paying job, however it does not interest me currently doing plug and chug excel work all day long. I need to figure out what kind of job would be less excel heavy, more at the properties, out of the office, communicating with various people, coming to a solution in either a sales sort of way or management sort of way. 

What would you recommend? Or where to start looking.
