If you actually did this you would have more field experience than 90% of Project Managers and Estimators. I can count one one hand the ones I know that can actually drive a nail. And I'm one of them.

I agree with another poster that stated you need to know how to build it before you can estimate it properly. I get so pissed off when we lose a bid to a competitor who obviously screwed up there bid but still took the job.
Try to get on with:
Cajun
Womack
Buquet LeBlanc
Lemoine
Turner
Woodward
Gibbs
Performance
MMR
Bernhard/MCC
Group
James
Boh
Any of these big companies will give you the experience you need. I personally got my start at Cajun and it was the best stepping stone I could have ever hoped for. Good luck!
