Moving from commercial Valuations in a global valuation firm into cre/development analyst role

Hi guys, I'm currently studying a bachelors degree in business and majoring in property. Lecturers keep pressuring all students to go into REITS or cre investing analyst jobs. However I'm have currently not yet graduated currently in 2nd year and have landed a graduate valuer position in a top tier valuation firm, being trained up to be qualified as a CPV (Certified property valuer) in commercial valuations upon graduation (this is australia). Balancing full time university and work. Currently getting paid 52k and starting salary once graduated will be 90k plus then usually 50k bonus. However my passion is cre investing and analysing deals and one day want to open my own  boutique development firm. Once graduated should I do one year a commercial valuer at 100kpa and then move into a developer acquisitions role? Or stay a commercial valuer and do development projects and eventually start a firm? Would it be worth moving into the city to get more experience in a developer firm if I want to open my own developer firm one day?

Ps. My parents are mom and pop developers done about 30-50mil in projects. Would i be best to stay under them or move to city to gain experience from an institutional developer as an analyst. My modelling skills are and will be institutional level. 

Pps I also have early access into a 1 year master in finance. 

Just tossing up whether its worth bothering going into city slaving away for a big developer than to just stay out if city getting paid pretty good and have extra on my own projects. 

Cheers guys.
