Have no degree, instead have 4 years of experience, 3 of which as a foreman. With that experience I landed a position as a field engineer, which is a gateway into higher management in the civil side of construction
I’m so excited to make the best of my learning experience and I look forward to the future projects that will further inspire my personal growth development and project portfolio!
Love this content! I'm currently seeking an associate of applied science degree in construction management. There's a chance your local community college offers the degree, don't miss out!
Started off at the bottom of my families company. They shut the doors so my brother and I started our own construction company. Not too concerned with the degree, but I would love to know some important/recommended certifications
Save your money. Go work in the trades and work your way up. Earn a paycheck and gain experience. You will be in a much better place at 22 or 23 with no debt from college.
I think a Civil Engineering degree with a concentration in Construction offers more value than a regular CM degree. You can get a PE license after 4 years also you can get your GC license in a year or 2 after graduation.
I would agree, except that if a CE and CM student are wanting to both become construction managers, the CM student is going to have a significantly easier time while making as much as the CE holder. Plus, Engineering students are some of the most awkward people I’ve ever met and construction management is all about communication.
I'm currently planning to get a dumper and roller licence in the UK and working in the field for a year then moving into a construction management degree. Do you have any recommendations for me?
got blessed with an opportunity to work/shadow a GC specializing in residential new-build projects. However, I do not have much technical knowledge/experience in construction (currently hold a finance degree). What are some resources I can teach myself these skills? Thank you in advanced
Talk to the trades on site. Ask questions as they build. I remember working as a framer and a new CM was always asking questions about framing. He ended up with a pretty good idea of the process after a while.
@@jasonwilliamschroeder Hi. What would you say are the top five best construction management programs in America in terms of the quality of education and their prestige as seen by employers? Which construction management college programs in America cover all of the criteria you mentioned in the video? What are the top five construction management programs in America that are considered the best and cover all the criteria mentioned in the video?
CM degree sucks. Please to all my freshman or higher school seniors that want to go the CM route, my advice is to get a civil engineer degree or construction engineer. Buh if you want less maths, I would suggest you get a business administration degree then minor in Construction management.
