My Thoughts On Construction Management School

[@deeworkzz2861]

Recently joined the union after working in residential for 5 years, after my third year they offer a construction management associates degree from an accredited institution. After that, ill probably pursue the Bachelors. Great info. Thanks

Entering the commercial field was certainly an eye opener, it shows how far you can go. Theres alot more to it than a residential company thats run by an individual, vs a large corporation with many components. Now its just time to learn as much as I can, and work on leveling up. Some people dont want to take on the responsibilities of a GC position, but to me, we only have one life, may as well elevate as much as we can!

@deeworkzz2861 The commercial world is really cool. So much to learn in all departments. I love your attitude. Not everyone wants to take on those responsibilities but, when you lean into the discomfort of those responsibilities it feels so much more rewarding than the alternative. Thank you for your support, I appreciate it. Good luck with your journey...Keep up the good work!

Rowan university offers a bachelors for it. You gotta be a journeyman and it accounts for 60 credits towards the degree.

I have gone back and forth on doing a CM degree. I also go back and forth on wanting to stay in the construction industry, lol. Some days I love it and some days I never want to work in the field again.

[@davidwintzer]

Personally, I would not go forward with any education if you're back and forth about it. The construction industry is a lot of fun but, you're right, some days you just don't want to go back into the field. I would say construction is one of those jobs if you're heart really isn't into it you should focus your attention in educating yourself in other career fields. As fun as this industry is, if you're half in, it will eat you up. Too much headache to take on if you don't enjoy the everyday challenges. Good luck! David.

What’s a good online university/college do get my CM from? I just got out of the Army after 10 years and want to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill to do an online school for CM. Do you know of a good online degree program for CM that you personally know of or have heard others recommend?

[@davidwintzer]

Nathan, thanks for reaching out and the comments. Unfortunately I don't know any good online schools and would hesitate to list one without any knowledge. Happy to help any way I can. Thank you for your service...I'm pumped for you on your next venture in the CM world. Reach out any time! David

I just turned 17 my family owns a construction business and they make over a million a year, but I really want to scale the business and help out and overall leverage the opportunity that I have on my plate. Any advice or opinions that you may have? my over all goal is to have guidance from experience individuals like you and hope I can get something out from here.
