Residential to CRE Development

I've been giving a chance to join a small but growing developer that only does multifamily in a major city on the east coast. I feel like I might get pigeonholed since I graduated from undergrad last year and this would be my first role in development. Would a transition to a hotel or office developer be possible in a few years without a graduate degree?

I know I'm jumping the gun here since I haven't even started yet.
