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 have 5 years construction experience. Dropped out of university at year 2 and a half. And I found out that since I completed my apprenticeship it qualifies me for 60 credits at University for a bachelor's in construction management. I think im going to do it. Idk if my heart is in it but it's an opportunity and I don't like missing opportunities.
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!
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.
@@rickdarden Of course it is worth it. Having a degree gives you way more career advancement opportunities. Also most employers prefer or even require a degree.
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
Hi Jason, I am considering a future in construction management, I watched a few of your videos but there is many to sift through. I'd love to know what working in construction while getting a degree would look like, or how I can gain experience while in school. Thank you.
Weird question. I have a degree in a completely different field than construction but life changes are having me consider going back and getting a CM degree. Would a masters degree carry the same weight as 4 year degree because with my current ed. Level I could do a masters in half the time.
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?
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.
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?

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.

List of top recommended credentials would be great. Got a few throughout school but they’re not super applicable to my job or region.
CCM, DBIA, CM-LEAN, CM-BIM, LEED
@@jasonwilliamschroeder Have the LEED (and USACE CQM-C), will work on these as they come up, thanks!
2 exams left before I become a free man!
Really thank you ❤
Thank you.

Thanks for the Information Jason! Do you know if I can study for a Higher National Diploma in Quantity Surveying straight out of High School?
I am sorry. I actually do not know that one.
17yrs experience building bridges. 10 yrs of it being a welding foreman. Hiring?
Thanks bro❤
Do you think online schooling is a good idea or should I go to college to get the degree?
@@cale6457 I don’t really know. As long as you can get a job either will be fine. I would guess the piece of paper is what matters
I’m a a Civil Engineer from Cuba, I live now in Miami, I would like to study the Constitution Management Degree. Can I apply for it ?

I have no degree but 9 years experiences in construction field, interior finishing but now I want to learn CM, please suggest me university around CA
@@rabinranamagar3280 oh my. Any university that fits your circumstances will work-even community colleges that will count towards your degree.

Do you mean construction in general?
@@jasonwilliamschroeder yes
I would say internships, a book about construction management, day in the life videos for construction, and this channel.

What is the best Institute to take lean construction course and certificate ?

Why does CM degree bad choice?
@@geddon436it’s not. He’s trolling. A business degree with engineering concepts is not worse than a BA degree lmao
