re: Construction Management redux.....

LSU needs to make an engineering management degree, or at least add this discipline in each engineering major. Basically have pure technical engineers who want to eventually be staff engineers, and then a more managerial side fit those who want that.

Most companies I've worked for offer two promotional paths, one staff and one management. The staff side is slower to move up in and tougher overall, but at most stages the managerial side gets paid more.
