Going to school for this now... I can't wait until next year when i start interning but i volunteer with habitat for humanities so i already have on the job training... I still want to be an architect but this is the best way to go before becoming an architect or engineer
I have my CM degree. If you want to pursue a degree in Architecture, then need to go to school for that. Having a CM degree will not help you become an Architect.
Taylor, This is true, but worded poorly and without the context Jay was referencing. As someone who literally went the Engineering AND Architecture routes before switching to CM, CM definitely has better job placement right out of school which is what I'm guessing Jay was trying to convey. I work directly along side many Engineering and Architecture degree holders who typically take longer in school and we're paid roughly the same amount if not more.
I'm going this route but going through the apprenticeship, then hopefully can transfer my credit towards my Construction Management degree when I obtain my journeymen license.
Construction Managers have a place. But without the hard working, smart trades people and laborers toiling away day in and day out, nothing would be built. I have more respect for someone who started at the bottom then climbed the managerial ladder, instead of someone straight out of college with a fancy degree and who thinks they can just start giving out orders.
A college degree comes with blood sweat and tears to.. well maybe not blood. But people earn those degrees and put in extremely hard work and it shows that they can start something and finish it.
There is something to be said for the man who works his way up the chain. Those people are very important. However, if you have the opportunity to get somewhere quicker through a college degree it only makes sense to go that route.
You can’t beat experience when it comes to trades, but not everyone is cut out for labor just as others are not cut out for management. Definitely a plus if you can do both.
Planning to live in Florida or Texas in the near future to buy my land and build a house and some stuff I want to be able to do on my own so I wonder if this career choice would give me time to work on it or am I always going to be putting in overtime?
Turner Company made this video really super!!! All engineers here are my idol. I love construction management .I did my MS Building and construction management In Czech, then came to U.S.A never had a chance to go back to the field. I have done my internship in Prague (Czech).I would love to go back like filed engineer to start again. How do I start like entry level filed engineer?
@@andy_182 those subcontractors are not brainless laborers. They are very skilled employees. They go to trade school and have do apprenticeships. Try fitting pipes or roughing in electricity and let me know how it goes.
Guys on the ground wouldn't know where to begin without the in house management, but you're right, we couldn't do the job without them and they are our most valuable asset in delivering projects to the owner. Also, I know plenty of tradesmen and women making well more than I make working in Construction Management for a top 30 company. Some of the electricians & plumbers we have on site make $60/hr--$90/hr for overtime!
@@selahjames1267 Ok, you went somewhere else, I said brainless laborers, as in, unskilled laborers. The ones who did not learn anything. Hitting rocks isnt skilled.
I was never sure abt taking engineering so i took a strand that is business related. I'm scared that just bcs of that wrong decision I will get a harder time taking an engineering course at college.
Hey pal, I am Barbender and fixer by trade. What it is called in USA? I have searched in Google but could not find out about it.I want to take courses related to Barbending in USA or skills acknowledging course so that I can transfer my 7+ experiences , do you have any suggestions? And how much they make in USA on an average?
No, to work for a large GC like Turner, you need a 4 year Construction/Building Science , civil or mechanical engineering, architecture, or other related degree.
@@joebyron7198 i guess its a good job since you don't have to sit your ass in a desk all day long and you don't have to break your back all day long by doing hard work as the laborers do.
No, but many of the classes I've taken in college for my Construction Science & Management degree have been engineering and physics based, so for classes, yes... out in the field, you just need to be able to understand how loads affect members on a building and be able to spot physics/engineering issues in buildings, but as far as doing any of the actual calculations, you won't really need to know it out in the field because that falls on the engineers
Be cautious with huge companies like Turner. At the moment I work for a large GC, but probably a fifth of the size of Turner and my company has a pretty nice work/life balance compared to other companies. But I worked for Hensel Phelps previously as a field engineer, and I was working from dusk to dawn every day, and that’s how Turner is too. Huge companies like Turner don’t necessarily have a great reputation for treating their staff well. I recommend working for a top 20-40 GC instead from my personal experience.
Im in an architecture, project and facility management degree now and my high school classes were completely reflective to what programs I was eligible for.

these jobs used to be for the people who got to old for physical work in these trades now its being gobbled up by college kids and us old guys get to die on our feet with a hammer in the hand 10 years early.
Should’ve gone to college, that’s your own fault, not ours. You can’t blame the youth for companies changing their educational requirements. If you saw that the industry was shifting, then you should’ve went back to get a degree. Being skilled in a trade does not mean you have the ability to understand CM processes.

Hi sir, finally I'm writing my thoughts down here. Your channel has really inspired me. I spent a whole day going through your videos when I was preparing interviews for a site engineer role abroad, I'm soooo excited about this role. Even though it is true, I didn't realise how much this industry is worldwide saturated more importantly, how this has an effect on the everyday life of Indian engineers I grew up in India and 7 years before completed my B.TECH(CIVIL- ENGINEERING) and now I am doing normal civil engineer job in india !! This is so embraced and I feel this is a headache I still can't move abroad I am trying it. I want to encourage Indian engineering students, especially those from the Indian community and with lack of English barrier and also it being their second language, to follow their dreams to become an engineer in Abroad. Only one chance to give me I will perform definitely
Hey guys i am 14 years old i was wondering if construction managing is a good career to get into I see comments of how people hate this job and how some love it. Any advice??? Thank you
tomas medina well are you good at.... ahh i dont know uhh MATH? Well either way if your're in it for the pay i guess its an ok job. But i'd say at age 14 you still have about 2 yrs to think about what u want to be. the sooner you realize your goal in life the harder you will work for it y'know?
tomas medina are you a good leader? You have to be fluent in communication, and describing vision. not only that you have to adapt to the ever changing climate and unpredictable disasters. And oversee your workers and plan out everything. But its not for everyone i guess, but if you like that kind of stuff you might find some joy bringing a land of dirt and erect parking lot! Well its up to the eye of the beholder
Its a great career, but it's like anything else...it has to fit you. Construction Managers have endless opportunities and choices of career paths. I have been in the industry for decades, had an opportunity to teach the profession to both the trades and at the University level, and now I produce continuing education videos for construction managers on LinkedIn Learning...all because I pursued a career in construction when I was 15. Go check it out. Visit a site, or visit a CM program at a college. See if it's for you.
Well take a look at these stats: Construction Management degrees guarantee you one of the highest starting salaries out of most STEM majors, you can actually make more than someone with a Civil Engineering Degree. Construction almost guarantees you a job related to your major out of college. Unemployment rates for CNM/CNS majors are one of the lowest of all majors. You can essentially work anywhere in the world where construction is taking place. Lots of travel. Median salaries for construction managers is over $90k (this is with around 5-10 years experience). Most companies are employee owned meaning they give you stock in the company so you build retirement funds without paying anything out of your salary. On top of this most contractors will match a percentage of whatever you put into your 401k and will also pay for your dental and health insurance without taking from your salary. Also lots of PTO on the management side. On a personal note, I'm going into my senior year studying construction science and management and I already have a second internship lined up in Denver, CO. My company is paying me $16/hr and theyre paying for a $1700/mo furnished apartment for me to live in in Denver. My school also has a 100% job placement rate for CNS majors. The only real con I can see of being a construction major is that it's a lot of work, sometimes 50+ hrs/wk, but there are so many benefits for working for a general contractor that working that much isn't even a con, in fact the work can be extremely fun. Construction is an exciting field and is rarely boring. If you're ever bored, just go on a safety walk around the job site or go make sure everything's being built according to the latest and greatest plans. So long story short, Construction Management is a wonderful career choice and you'll end up making just as much as an engineer will make 9 times out of 10. In fact, many engineers come to the construction industry because they can make more money, and you will get the same job as them without having to take all of the extra math or passing the FE exam.
Associate's. 2 years of school and great pay. A lot of these companies will pay for you to get your Bachelor's. 2 years of experience with an Associate's will be the pay of a graduate with a Bachelor's.
@@selahjames1267 No shit Sherlock, it was a joke--not meant to be taken literally. The reality is that we're the one building the project. If they require something that is good in design but is impossible to build in reality, we put our foot down. Architects are just a bunch of glorified art students who, most of which (especially junior designers), have never actually been on a construction site in their life. Not to mention, we pretty much fix all of the shitty design flaws that the architects made via RFIs and often times have more say to the owner about what will be built because half the time something an architect wants to do is not physically constructable. My project currently isn't even over with and we have over 3000 RFIs because the architects were probably high when they were designing the building. I get that technically speaking the owner is in charge, and that the architect and the GC work for the owner... but I'd say we have more power than architects when it comes to building a project because most architects have never even picked up a hammer. My point was to poke fun at the fact that people think we have the architects holding our hand throughout the delivery of a project, when in reality it's the opposite.We literally had a 3 month long argument with our architect because the fire sprinkler head cover color did not exactly match the metal ceiling panel color because the manufacturer they selected in the specs (the only one we were allowed to use) had a trademarked color for their metal panels, and the architect only allowed us to use a different specific manufacturer for the sprinkler head covers. It was literally impossible to match the metal panel cover because the manufacturer of that panel would not license the color to the other manufacturer. We ended up winning that battle because we literally have 0 time to waste on fucking sprinkler head covers. That's the kind of shit you deal with when you deal with architects--70% of the time they're useless, 30% of the time they're actually helpful.
@@blakeb4583 i dont know what your deal is with architects, but if you have work with them closely, you know they are more than glorified artists. There is a lot of math and science involved. GCs couldnt do their jobs without architects because all their work is based on the construction documents that the architects created for the project.
@@selahjames1267 If you think architects do math & science, then you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. The extent of math that an architect does is simple addition/subtraction. My undergraduate degree is in Civil Engineering and I can guarantee that I've done more math, and more complex math, in my undergrad than any architect could ever dream of. Engineers do the math and science, and often times hate working with architects just as much as GCs hate working with architects. Plus, like I said, half the shit an architect designs isn't even constructable in the real world. My guess is that A) you've never worked in the design field/construction field, or B) you're an architecture student in college/or want to be architect and you're offended that someone who actually works in the construction field is calling architects out on their bullshit. It's a symbiotic relationship between architects & the GC, and to think that architects are perfect and that GCs aren't as responsible as the architects for the design of the project is laughable. I stand by my claim that architects are glorified art students.
I am going to school for it now in the Kansas City area. Great pay and many options just with an Associate's in C.M. You can still work for commercial companies like JE Dunn. You would start lower than a graduate with a Bachelor's in C.M. Keep in mind that 2 years of experience equals the pay of a Bachelor's degree. A lot of these companies do pay for you to get your Bachelor's. Find a college near you that offers this program and meet with them. Plan your classes. Apply for FAFSA and scholarships. This degree is very versatile. With this degree you would not just have to stick to C.M.
Valerie Chapman I'm 18 and plan on going to community college for construction management , is 2 year good enough , I'll complete bachelors later on , but you think associate will be ok . Thanks
Gerardo Marin Of course! You'll just start less than a bachelor's degree graduate. That means apply to companies even if they are asking for a bachelor's. 2 years experience will put you in the pay of a bachelor's degree grad (usually around 85k in KS). A lot of the companies will pay for your bachelor's so go work immidiatley after your associates. Great business. Lots of opportunities atm. The companies that partner with my school are asking for more grads but not enough people know about or want to do it. People are placing before graduation. Best of luck!

And oversee your workers and plan out everything. But its not for everyone i guess, but if you like that kind of stuff you might find some joy bringing a land of dirt and erect parking lot! Well its up to the eye of the beholder
Its a great career, but it's like anything else...it has to fit you. Construction Managers have endless opportunities and choices of career paths. I have been in the industry for decades, had an opportunity to teach the profession to both the trades and at the University level, and now I produce continuing education videos for construction managers on LinkedIn Learning...all because I pursued a career in construction when I was 15. Go check it out. Visit a site, or visit a CM program at a college. See if it's for you.
Well take a look at these stats:
Construction Management degrees guarantee you one of the highest starting salaries out of most STEM majors, you can actually make more than someone with a Civil Engineering Degree. Construction almost guarantees you a job related to your major out of college. Unemployment rates for CNM/CNS majors are one of the lowest of all majors. You can essentially work anywhere in the world where construction is taking place. Lots of travel. Median salaries for construction managers is over $90k (this is with around 5-10 years experience). Most companies are employee owned meaning they give you stock in the company so you build retirement funds without paying anything out of your salary. On top of this most contractors will match a percentage of whatever you put into your 401k and will also pay for your dental and health insurance without taking from your salary. Also lots of PTO on the management side.
On a personal note, I'm going into my senior year studying construction science and management and I already have a second internship lined up in Denver, CO. My company is paying me $16/hr and theyre paying for a $1700/mo furnished apartment for me to live in in Denver. My school also has a 100% job placement rate for CNS majors.
The only real con I can see of being a construction major is that it's a lot of work, sometimes 50+ hrs/wk, but there are so many benefits for working for a general contractor that working that much isn't even a con, in fact the work can be extremely fun. Construction is an exciting field and is rarely boring. If you're ever bored, just go on a safety walk around the job site or go make sure everything's being built according to the latest and greatest plans.
So long story short, Construction Management is a wonderful career choice and you'll end up making just as much as an engineer will make 9 times out of 10. In fact, many engineers come to the construction industry because they can make more money, and you will get the same job as them without having to take all of the extra math or passing the FE exam.

Is it better to get an Associates or Bachelor's?
Juan Montalban bachelor's from an ACCE accredited university.
Associate's. 2 years of school and great pay. A lot of these companies will pay for you to get your Bachelor's. 2 years of experience with an Associate's will be the pay of a graduate with a Bachelor's.
Juan Montalban bachelors
Either one
50 cent!
50 cent is now 50 Saint
good job waaaau
What's the next? Sean Paul like an English teacher.
good thing the architects are around to tell you what to do haha
lol, architects work for the contractor, contractors tell architects what to do.
@@blakeb4583 No. Architects work for the owners and so does the general contractor.
@@selahjames1267 No shit Sherlock, it was a joke--not meant to be taken literally.
The reality is that we're the one building the project. If they require something that is good in design but is impossible to build in reality, we put our foot down. Architects are just a bunch of glorified art students who, most of which (especially junior designers), have never actually been on a construction site in their life. Not to mention, we pretty much fix all of the shitty design flaws that the architects made via RFIs and often times have more say to the owner about what will be built because half the time something an architect wants to do is not physically constructable. My project currently isn't even over with and we have over 3000 RFIs because the architects were probably high when they were designing the building. I get that technically speaking the owner is in charge, and that the architect and the GC work for the owner... but I'd say we have more power than architects when it comes to building a project because most architects have never even picked up a hammer. My point was to poke fun at the fact that people think we have the architects holding our hand throughout the delivery of a project, when in reality it's the opposite.We literally had a 3 month long argument with our architect because the fire sprinkler head cover color did not exactly match the metal ceiling panel color because the manufacturer they selected in the specs (the only one we were allowed to use) had a trademarked color for their metal panels, and the architect only allowed us to use a different specific manufacturer for the sprinkler head covers. It was literally impossible to match the metal panel cover because the manufacturer of that panel would not license the color to the other manufacturer. We ended up winning that battle because we literally have 0 time to waste on fucking sprinkler head covers. That's the kind of shit you deal with when you deal with architects--70% of the time they're useless, 30% of the time they're actually helpful.
@@blakeb4583 i dont know what your deal is with architects, but if you have work with them closely, you know they are more than glorified artists. There is a lot of math and science involved. GCs couldnt do their jobs without architects because all their work is based on the construction documents that the architects created for the project.
@@selahjames1267 If you think architects do math & science, then you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. The extent of math that an architect does is simple addition/subtraction. My undergraduate degree is in Civil Engineering and I can guarantee that I've done more math, and more complex math, in my undergrad than any architect could ever dream of. Engineers do the math and science, and often times hate working with architects just as much as GCs hate working with architects. Plus, like I said, half the shit an architect designs isn't even constructable in the real world. My guess is that A) you've never worked in the design field/construction field, or B) you're an architecture student in college/or want to be architect and you're offended that someone who actually works in the construction field is calling architects out on their bullshit. It's a symbiotic relationship between architects & the GC, and to think that architects are perfect and that GCs aren't as responsible as the architects for the design of the project is laughable. I stand by my claim that architects are glorified art students.
very enlightening vid!
Where can I get 50Cents contact, I want to hire the Dude...gie gie gieeeee ! 50 on the Site whop whop
with 7 years in construction. i think we should find another job
I want to become a construction manager, but i am still quite confused about that😅😅
can anyone help me?
I am going to school for it now in the Kansas City area. Great pay and many options just with an Associate's in C.M. You can still work for commercial companies like JE Dunn. You would start lower than a graduate with a Bachelor's in C.M. Keep in mind that 2 years of experience equals the pay of a Bachelor's degree. A lot of these companies do pay for you to get your Bachelor's. Find a college near you that offers this program and meet with them. Plan your classes. Apply for FAFSA and scholarships. This degree is very versatile. With this degree you would not just have to stick to C.M.
Valerie Chapman I'm 18 and plan on going to community college for construction management , is 2 year good enough , I'll complete bachelors later on , but you think associate will be ok . Thanks
Gerardo Marin Of course! You'll just start less than a bachelor's degree graduate. That means apply to companies even if they are asking for a bachelor's. 2 years experience will put you in the pay of a bachelor's degree grad (usually around 85k in KS). A lot of the companies will pay for your bachelor's so go work immidiatley after your associates. Great business. Lots of opportunities atm. The companies that partner with my school are asking for more grads but not enough people know about or want to do it. People are placing before graduation. Best of luck!
Valerie Chapman I'm in Atlanta Georgia , I'm soon to start , you think same goes for Georgia
Here's a link for your state. You can also view the average growths throughout the US. Look around on the site.

Muy larga la introduccion
The 1st speaker is so young looking she looks as if she just come out of diapers.
Why would anyone lsiten to her? honestly the best managers are the guys who have worked there way up not stupid students.
🤔 50 cent
You can go to a trade skool for this
intro lousy - too noisy !
I bet that one construction manager is just *so disrespectful* when he arrives at the job site.
Dam he looks good and he's smart perfect
ok😊
The only part I don’t like of the job is the math. Math is for the engineers, not a manager.
wtf 50 cent ?
I have 4 year degree i cm.
Nightmares 2Night does it have a lot of math
@@faizaniqbal7501 not that much
So this how 50 got rich huh ?
Construction is not hands on.
Lol
.gtp
very good hard work in my job it is very important in my life
Lol
