Ah, I see. I'm in AU's bachelors program and will likely stop there. Yes, I should have mentioned I'm a tad bit older (28) and had 7 years of commercial construction experience prior to enrolling. Does LSU have building science specific career fairs? If so, go. I ended up getting 6 offers at AU's.

The CM department hosts its own interviewing day. I had 2 offers from that when I graduated with my bachellors.

There is a lot of experience to be had working with a subcontractor as an estimator / project manager / assistant project manager / assistant superintendent.
Don't limit yourself only looking for a job with a general contractor.
I've worked for both a general contractor and sub contractor as an estimator and project manager and I've learned a hell of a lot more working with the sub contractor and have made a lot more money as well.
I agree with those in this thread who mentioned getting some on the job training, internships, and learning from guys actually doing the work, not talking about.
Good Luck
