Any career switchers here?

Hi everyone, I’m a “career switcher” and currently enrolled in a top 25 MBA program. I am still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do when I graduate, but currently am interested in Commercial Real Estate (I think). I have an engineering degree from a top engineering school and have over a decade of experience in industrial capital equipment sales. I don’t want to work in manufacturing anymore, but that’s a story for a different day.
