re: What’s a good college degree for working outdoors?

Construction Management, be a feild superintendent. Construction companies need surveyors and people who know how to build projects according plans and specifications. Most people who are smart enough to be able to do this don't wnat to work outside which is why you can get in without a degree.

To be honest, you could start out making 60k with no degree or experience and work your way up to double that with bonus once you know what you are doing. College doesn't teach you what you need to know, field experience and on the job training is the only avenue.

Not trying to solicit in the OT but if you are interested in working on heavy civil construction projects within a 2 hour drive from BR, you can email me your contact info and we can talk more. My email is my user name at yahoo dot com.
