re: Is anyone else not pushing their kids to attend college?

Honestly in my area of construction, I think the best PM’s come from the field without a degree since the kids straight out of college with that brand new CM degree barely know pipe is round and has a hole in it. The problem though is once guys go down the field path it is hard to pull them back into an office setting since they are already making legit money and don’t really have that urge to go get behind a computer. For that reason I stress to any kid in college that wants to almost walk into a solid job after school is go get on a job during the Summer. Get those hands dirty. Not only will you earn the respect of the employees working for you, you can actually have the real world experience of knowing what it us like when you are behind that desk.
