I was in the exact same situation that you are in and went back to school....it is damn tough to go back as an atypical student, but worth every bit of it (as long as you finish)....

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I am going in with a clear (and mature) head, looking forward to it and hope it allows me to more freely dictate my future.


I saw someone post about design/CAD a page or so back. This is actually what led me to the program. I started looking into things that would interest me and that stood out.

There are no "dedicated" CAD/modeling courses around here, but the CM program has a few BIM/CAD classes thrown in.

ETA: I dont really have a direct plan to go into residential, but it stated that the program would prepare you to take the state GC exam, which seems pretty good to have either way. I will definitely go for that as soon as I am able to.
