re: Construction Management redux.....

One of my friends who was a general business major who got his masters had no problems transitioning from the post bac to the masters. He had worked in construction before, but only as a gopher for his dad when he was a teenager. You get your experience via internships between, or part time during, semesters.

The LSU Construction Student Association (CSA) and Construction Industry Advisory Council (CIAC) will be super helpful for this. Just make sure you get involved in CSA and sign up for the mentor program. They'll pair you up with a CIAC member who will in all likelihood give you an internship if you can't find one yourself.

You're going in the right direction.

King bob you rock! I am going to sign up with this association ASAP. So your friend had no problems going from Post Bac to Masters? Did he have to take the GRE? I was told by an enrollment specialist that if you ace the Post Bac that it's much easier to transition to a masters and the GRE is waived. The only thing I was worried about was not lacking the managerial experience.
I am in the same boat as your friend. I did some summer work for my father in law putting up sheet rock. He owns a construction company. I could just ask him for help but he's in Texas and I'm in CA for now.
I hope that association you cited stretches out to CA!
