I have found a new book i need to get a hold of. I just found when i was researching for some construction information. It is called Construction Management Jumpstart. It is intended for people that want to own a construction business, Or somebody that is already in a construction type of job and is interested in business management. I have recently been thinking about what im going to do with my life. I know it is going to be some kind of construction job. During the summer i'm going to get a construction type of job. Then, in the fall i'm going to attend Kirkwood and take some construction classes. After this im going to do construction( more on the residental side ) and then im going to try and do construction management. I really want to own my own construction business, because after seeing both of my grandfathers in that career i am down to do whatever it takes to get into it.

I've been researching some of the top schools for construction managment and i have found that Bradley University, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, and Oregon State University are the top 3 schools for construction management. Over the next couple of days i am going to research some of these schools and find out what kind of schooling you will need to get to be in construction management.

Ever since i was a little kid i have wanted to be a construction worker. Both of my grandpas own there own construction business. I have been interested in joining one of these businesses since i was very little. And now that its starting to get close for me to make a decision I'm really starting to think about it. I always listen to them tell me about the job and they both try and convince me to be a worker for one of them.
I know some of the basics about construction but i hope to learn a lot more during school next year and during this project. I haven't found a book to read yet but i have one in mind i just need to get my hands on it. The book talks about how to run a successful construction business. It would be very relavant to me and taking over one of my grandpas companies one day.
this summer i plan to stop working in the restraunt business and start working with my grandpa. THen next year i plan on going to kirkwood and taking some of their carpender classes they have. This will give me some time to learn some new stuff. My number one goal one day is to own one of their businesses and drive a cadillac escalade and live in a decent size house with my family. It will all start this summer when i start working with one of them.
I haven't always wanted to be a construction worker but after they talk to me about it and they always joke about which company i would want to join it brings all this pressure on me. WHat if i choose the wrong one? What if i dont do as good as they all think im going to do? Will they understand if im not as good right when i start? All these questions are going through my head as i approach the end of the year. You will have to keep checking out my blog to see which company i choose.
