It is sufficient. We have one guy with an ITT tech degree. You probably won't start at the same salary as a construction management b.s. but it doesn't take long to prove yourself.
If a guy with an ITT Tech degree can find work, I don't see why I couldn't either. LSU has a great rep for CM. I am sure even at the basic Post Bac level it's seen in a good light.
Salary means nothing to me right now. I'd work for hourly pay. All that matters is being able to learn on the job.

CM major 1 year from graduating checking in.
Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, bud. Take everything these guys have said and run with it. I'll have two summers in the field, ~6 months total + about 1 year in the office working under a PM by graduation. The poster that talked about earning the field guys' respect was spot on. When you first start your going to be looked at as a prissy college boy. Prove them wrong. I have benefitted a metric shite ton by just showing up to a site on time at 6:30 and working my arse in the dirt.
Once you gain that respect from your supers and hourly guys, it'll come from the office too.
And to expand upon what others have said LSU is very adamant about getting experience and is well connected in construction. The problem is there are 2 types of CM students. The ones willing to sweat, and the ones who are bitches. A lot of my classmates think they're going to graduate and waltz into a cushy air conditioned office making 60k - 70k. frick that. Put me on the site and tell me what you want done. Come hell or high water that shite is going to be done.
