Will going to college for construction hurt me the program is called (Engineering Technology/construction)?
Author: admin // Category: Commercial Construction
I would like to be a commercial construction project manager; however, I want a job with security! (about me real quick…) I have been working for Walgreen’s for two years now while attending pensacola junior college. I just graduated with my associates in business(3.8 gpa) and I am now trying to pick my major… I was stuck between business and construction…. Business I could do manager for Walgreen’s making 35-100K+ a year (im happy so far at Walgreen’s) and if I do something in business I am not stuck with just one career choice… where as construction (COMMERCIAL) I not guaranteed a job upon graduating and if I do get a job and don’t like it I feel as if it would be hard for me to find a job outside of construction………………. Like I said I THINK I would like to be a commercial construction project manager if I can get that job but is it likely?? I have been networking as much as possible with a few local construction company’s since high school but it doesn’t seem promising………………………… I got construction experience my first summer out of high school and thinking about going back for my last two years of school…If you have experience in the construction field I would like your input on my chances of becoming a project manager….. what is the average pay of a project manager 75k? Do companys have good benefits? Is it possible to open my own business? Are you hiring? Does it pay well over seas? For the business folks…….. IS Walgreen’s a bad career choice? Could I get out of construction if my degree is Engineering Technology? What is a good yearly income?………. Last bit about me I enjoy school especially math…. any input is appreciated!

Create a video blog…instantly.
I Have been in industrial construction for 35 years and am currently a project safety director. If you wish to research some, go to, a very well respected school. As far as the job market goes, check out the industrial tradesman magazine. It will cost $20 to download to your computer. I would suggest buying one every 3 months as the changes are subtle. Hope this helps.
