We might get into trouble for this one… but here goes.
Your graduate program isn’t enough for you to succeed in construction.
We speak to a lot of young people coming into the industry, and the exceptional ones all had one thing in common.
They went above what was required of them.
If you want to stand out… if you want to learn more and progress more… you have to DO more.
Construction doesn’t happen on paper. And it doesn’t happen in a classroom.
It happens in the real world.
Take the time to go out and visit site and soak up the “reality” of what construction looks like – in all its messy detail.
Ask questions of people doing the job.
Find out what’s not in the program, that you need to know. The things you only know from experience.
Not in a graduate program?
Well maybe.. just maybe… that can be good too.
You can get out there and learn authentically by joining a small team and being mentored. That’s also an INCREDIBLE way to learn. And any teacher will tell you, the best way to learn, is by DOING.
There are many ways to get to where you want to go in construction.
But only one right attitude behind it.

5moKenneth Lundquist yep it has been a good car. When I signed the papers it had 8 miles on it. At 215 only problem I've had was transmission went and had a used one with 50k miles put in. And that was only about 6k miles ago.
