Based on your question, it sounds like you know what you want to do..
"I am most passionate about investment & development. I really dont want to sit at a desk all day or crunch numbers all day. I like the financial aspect to real estate but also the physicality, buying and selling, making deals, sourcing equity, etc."
The part about not wanting to sit at a desk all day crunching numbers = stay away from private equity/limited partner investment roles as desk work/modeling/crunching numbers will the majority of the day to day
Liking the physicality of buildings/buying and selling/making deals = you want to be close to the asset, which in turn makes an operator level job your best bet. You could try a developer or investment sponsor (ideally a smaller shop where you could wear multiple hats). Most of the larger shops segment roles such as acquisitions, developer/project manager, asset manager/property manager, etc.. into separate verticals whereas small shops require people to do a little of everything.
Brokerage would surely get you out of the office more than any other RE gig (aside from maybe appraiser) though this is going to be a sales role as you probably know...you could go to a top investment sales shop and get your financial juices flowing (as you'll be building Argus runs for deals you're on) and you'll of course be making deals happen too (and building a network in the process).
If you're passionate about the investment an Development side then you will need a decent financial acumen which is developed from entry level roles modeling all day like with a brokerage shop, bank or who ever. I have same interests as you, but I am willing to put in the 2 years or so and be a spreadsheet monkey and hopefully come out with a strong background and good exit ops.
Based on your post here, definitely development over acquisitions, but by no means determine your future based on my interpretation of your post
So some kind of development associate/manager role? What tasks would someone in one of those positions generally be responsible for?
You definitely should use Indeed.com, SelectLeaders.com, and LinkedIn.com to find for yourself, but here's two I just randomly pulled:
