Construction management degrees... I know what they sound like but what are some jobs these degrees allow you to get? I've always done side work doing carpentry, electrical work, sheetrock, tile, etc and I've always thought about getting into building houses.. would get a degree in CM help me along that path?

CM degrees can lead to a multitude of career paths. LSU turns out CM grads that do anything from build houses to estimate to work in the field.
Some of the top grads lately have been being sharked by hospitals to do surgery scheduling at for profit hospitals.
The majority of grads get on at an entry level position with a contractor (i.e. field engineer/project engineer/ junior estimator) from there your career path takes you to either Project manager, Superintendent, or Estimator/Scheduler.
Many people choose to start their own business though, and the easiest/ lowest cost area to get into is homebuilding. Its a saturated market right now. especially if you want to stay in BR. however, if you are good at what you do then you should be fine
