frick off. I was told to incorporate field experience with the degree but to over emphasize field experience because the degree means balls without the experience. I accepted that part and said I'd work for hourly pay, for peanuts just to get experience. What part of that did you not get in between thinking you're an internet roughneck telling a "college boy" what's up.
This isn't about being "thin-skinned" it's about your hangups about another college guy getting into this line of work with less experience than you or some other insecure hang up. I get that it's hard work, ball busting, and will give me callouses on my latte sipping hands or what ever other cliched stereotypes you think. It's not the military and I am not going to Iraq, so get off your fricking high horse and step aside, old man. I get the advice and get it well. I was asking about how much time is needed, whether to do day labor or shadow a field engineer, apprenticeship or not. Questions pertaining to the field experience, you fricking dolt. The part about the classes was just if it was relevant or not.

Nah, not worried. In fact, we hire hands every month. I bid and quote jobs where excavation and shoring is required. I also did the work for a few years and had a little college under my belt (less than you, actually). My employer is footing the bill for me to go back to school as well as a BCSP cert.

We hire people that want to work, like most places. Experience or college isn't needed.

That's what I don't get about you and your incessant whining. Go out and work. You cry about needing experience. Go get it. I've never heard of a construction group that won't hire an able bodied person. I don't know about everyone else, but we call them neck-downs because that's all we need them for.

Of course a person with intelligence would stand out in a group like that and they begin running crews or other aspects of the job.

So go start at the bottom and get noticed. It won't be hard. The same advice no less than a half dozen people already gave you.
