I am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Architecture degree and am considering aaplying for a masters in real estate development. Can anybody give me a more accurate description of what a real estate developer exactly does/ how a daily routine on the job looks like, especially the first few years after entering the field? Thank you!

I dont think you need a masters in real estate development, but if you would like to learn all about the commercial real estate business, check out commercialmortgageteacher.com
In this area the guy that calls himself a developer is also the “money man”. He either has a bunch of money or can raise it from other investors or bankers. That is a very large part of his job and talking with those guys is a big part of his day.
Of course the developer finds the land, looks at the market to see what is desired, plans and then executes. A huge part of the day is also trouble shooting. “There is not supposed to be a gas line there!- God look at that flame!”
You have to visit city hall pretty often in a suit and also visit with the dirt movers in jeans and be able to talk with both.
I would suggest that an apprenticeship would be a great idea.
