He is working construction for the summer. I hope he loves it and hates it both at the same time. I hope he loves it enough to stick with his Building Science major and hates it enough to make sure he finishes school. Edit: Day #1 is in the books. He came in filthy and said, “I have literally never felt so manly in all my life.” Last edited by ford150man; 05/09/24 04:26 PM. If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.-Mark Twain

It’s a great faith based company with a lot of really good people working there. I know the superintendent he is directly under and I don’t believe I could have hand picked a better guy for him to report directly to.

The majority of graduates from my experience go the PM or Estimating route versus Field Supt as alot of those guys work there way up from laborers. I do know a few that graduated BS and went the Supt route, either way good to get paid to experience for himself and can make a decision based of experience when he graduates. There are alot of opportunities out there for a BSCI grad outside of the commercial construction industry that is pushed by the school as well.
