re: Construction Management: Industrial and Commercial

Get an engineering degree instead. I dropped out of ChemE and graduated in CM. Bounced around fab shops and industrial jobs and then landed in utility construction. Finally got a break when a connection I made referred me to a spot with one of the major O&G companies, downstream of course. I'm finally a regional construction manager for them and love it, but if I had stuck our ChemE or switched to ME I would have had an easier path.
