I started my career at 14 for my uncles GC company pushing concrete, got out on work releases from school at 12:30 my entire life, he passed away when I was 21 I had known enough people another company gave me a small project manager job over smaller projects I’m now at 27 building fed ex data centers as a Superintendent
A lot of jobs or even companies will require a college education for such position depending on the company
Tru facts experience is not the only teacher, but the best teacher were with him Big ups from Tulsa Oklahoma the land of the black Wall Street 🙌🏿💪🏿💯
F*ck a degree!!!!! Its not about what you know but who you know (majority but kinda) ,how long you’ve know them and your work ethic with them following these things staying 100% and playing it cool with a open mind has landed two companies in my lap that I never asked for!!!! It took 4 years countless sleepless nights and a ton of determination but DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!!!!! Be like Morris Day and just be cool!!!! PS don’t EVER claim to know anything let alone everything let your actions talk and you’ll be perceived as a humble noble bad mother f#cker!!!!!
By this logic doctors, lawyers and any other profession shouldn't have degrees either.
In my 4th year as a Mason and I am making amazing money but I have more opportunities in the future
Construction workers
Connections are honestly one of the most powerful tools you can use to get far into any business. If you meet new people and build yourself a good reputation you can easily get into the industry like I did myself.
Do the work u love it then u will enjoy the work
Arturo Vidal … Is it you ?
U kno
A key thing is if you want to climb the ladder you need a degree or you won’t get some promotions
answer nothing
If your going to a leadership interview WITHOUT an degree your just wasting your time unless you have 3 decades worth of experience
I can’t even get through high school man there’s so much college minds consuming stuff that just makes you stay away from everything in general I’m a hyper kid and I prefer to just stay simple and work a heavy duty job
I busted my ass for years being a laborer with just a Military background and experience. I didn’t start making great money until I received my bachelor’s degree. Now it’s less physical labor but my brain 🧠 is on 🔥.
As somebody who works in construction management, you usually do need a degree to get your first job. But honestly anyone can do it.
He’s just saying that to lower his competition
I work in construction during summer and go to school in the fall.. both experience and education can be great!
I already have the expirience i just need the degree for it give me more opportunities
He didn't answer the question
If you’re going to be a foreman/super you don’t. If you’re going to be an actual CM a senior PM or anything above it is. If you don’t want to be stuck in the same place. I have a degree in CM and I don’t even use it. I work in safety but that stupid piece of paper has opened more doors than my experience ever could. When i paired with my experience it makes it that much more rewarding 🤑🤑🤑
I’ve been a construction manager in the custom home building industry for 6 years now. No degree and making $95k/yr base salary + $15-$25k in bonuses. The money is good but the job is overly stressful sometimes. It’s definitely not for anyone who can’t handle stress very well.
I make six figures as a construction manager with no fancy degree. I started working young and with some ambition I moved up the ladder over the course of few years and learned every capacity in my field by directly being in the field. It’s soft men that choose to go to school first then be in management directly and still don’t have any experience when they hit the field.
I started my life as a construction laborer. Got a scholarship and went to university. Became a licensed architect and then a project manager. Moved to Canada, I started my life as a construction laborer, architectural draftsman now. Looking for construction management positions. Life is hard, but I still have hope. 😊
What he isn't telling you is that you will be capped in what you can earn in your career without a degree. Although that degree may not get you real world expirience, it comes in handy when negotiating your salary when you've got the expirience under your belt.
To have the highest potential of success in the construction industry, a person needs BOTH education AND field experience. Most US companies look for managerial candidates (i.e. Project Managers and Senior Superintendents) that have at least some experience in both aspects of management, office and field. The order a person gains experience WILL determine how quickly that success comes, but WILL NOT ultimately determine whether success comes or not. The amount of hard work the person puts into their career however, will likewise determine the level of success they achieve in the long term. Short Answer: There is no EASY path in construction, HARD WORK and INFORMED DECISION will do more to ensure ultimate success, moreso than where you start.
It's no joke that nowadays, some companies aren't too concerned about you having a degree. If you have a good field experience and good computer literacy. They will take that as an alternative. My advice if you couldn't afford to go to college; work for sub-contractors. Gain field experience. I recommend that you work for a concrete sub contractor as a field engineer layout. You'll get the basics and experience on how a building is built from zero. Learn blueprint reading, how to coordinate and calculate wall/column grades, and get real close with the project engineers/managers. So you can learn more on quality control. After that, once you're confident enough or know some basics. Go and look for a project engineer position (It's entry level. Depending on the organization you work for; they will provide good training). The more field experience you gain from working for a sub contractor the better. Always build good relationships with the G.C. and project managers because they will definitely get you in the office if you got what it takes. Good luck and wish you the best. Don't let; not having a degree determine your future. It's all about good work ethics and using that brain that GOD gave you. Be humble, work hard, learn, grow as professional, and don't give up.
Edit: By the Grace of GOD, I worked 11 years in the field. Have been blessed with the opportunity to be a project engineer for a high prestige company. On the path of being a superintendent… with no college degree.
