I remember watching this video when I started college. I kept hearing from everyone "you wont get a job after college" and i won't lie it kind of scared me. however after transferring to CSUS my passion grew bigger. I am now part of the commercial team for the ASC student competitions. My program at Sacramento State has had a 100% job placement for the past 4 years. The key to this is... INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS, INTERNSHIPS... make your-self marketable!

i graduated in 2010 from Clemson university with a Construction Science and Management Degree. i went into highway construction for 3.5 years as a project engineer. Now i am a Project Manager with a Local company mostly working at government facilities. its a challenging job but rewarding when you see it all completed.

This seems like a really great career. And from what I gather, you can make a really good living at it.

Thank you very much for this video! I am a trained Architect and Engineer and have always been drawn towards the organization of projects. The idea of becoming a project manager has always been in the back of my mind, but difficult to confirm as it is hard to clearly see all aspects of the position. You've successfully accomplished a nice, quick overview which will allow me to better research this profession. Thank you!

Great video. I love how so involved you were through out the day.

Quite nice to see the busy and adventurous life of a project manager. I Hope one day ,i too will have the fortunate opportunity to manage some projects.

Great insight and perspective into the life of a PM, Would love to see more

Just Amazing video.. Thanks for sharing.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing all this info. I'm writing project management module next month

Very sanitized version of what the daily life is and the conflict resolution skills and patience need to transition from Board Room into the trenches. 20+ years in very large Airport Programs from $30M to $1.3B.

Nice! Thank you for sharing.

This video low key inspired me to change my career path. I was looking into majoring in chem and it sounded pretty hard and boring and not good pay. but now this sounds fun and motivates me.

I have worked in consulting business as a mechanical eng. for almost 5 years I had enough fun but there was always something missing: interaction with different people. Thats why, I want to go in to construction management. I understand it is very challenging but at the end rewarding and energizing career as well. I have a question to those who have been in this business for awhile, do you think it would be a problem for a construction manager with not having a Structural Eng. or Architectural background? I know you dont have to be but it seems like unwritten rule. What are your thoughts?? Thanks!

Great job Jim

Thanks for the video. I will like to see a video about the documentations that go on in project management of a building construction site.

There are a ton of schools offering this curriculum. Just type in Construction Management Programs when searching the web. In Michigan Ferris, Eastern Michigan & Michigan State University offer accredited bachelor programs. I know some community colleges offer construction management classes, and Oakland University. Some out of state programs I know of are: Purdue, M.S.O.E., Ball State etc...

Yes and the projected demand is very high!

this video is really informative and learn a lot from this video about construction project management

Great video

This was a very good and informative video thanks!

ATP for the review, as always everything is clear and without water

@xxhasudin i graduate in 2012, dont worry its all good less competition since theres very few going into construction

I didn't go to college so I had to learn this junk on the fly. just my opinion but if your not a quality multi Tasker and r one of those people who need to directly focus on a task without any distraction don't even bother getting into this field. if you from new York you better quickly learn the importance of dominating and staying ahead of all submittals and RFIs. be all over making sure everyone that needs latest drawings has them. so Many changes. fall behind in the submittal process can bury you quickly

@lameengo its expected to increase by 25 percent in the coming years, because of the economies flip around. I'm going to college for it now and all my fathers siblings own a successful business in L.A. and make more than 80,000 a year depending on what they do.

thanks for this vid! nice!

I’ve been doing drywall for 20 years and I’m really looking into changing my career a bit & I’d like to attempt to apply for a position but a bit discouraged because I’ve always worn tools & I feel like I should stay working at the bottom of totem pole but I’m tired of it

Great career opportunity

Can I use this video for a blog I am doing on becoming a construction manager?

guyz whats your opinion about construction management major ? does it a good choice?

My dad used to do this lol. I dunno why I'm here

nice video

Anyone know the courses needed for this major? I can't find any curriculum's anywhere

Mmmm not so safe ladder at 4.42 LOL

What time do you start work

hmm. i can say..nice video.

It is a good career

There are a few options - Construction Engineering and Management and Civil Engineering programs are the most common. What state are you located in?

So no vest, hard hat or glasses on site...

What is the avg salary for fresher with Ms in CPM with BIM

How hard are the studies of Construction management?

this guy is strong

Jim Yehle is a civil engineer by education.

@xxhasudin i aslo graduate 2012 cum to australia if u cant find anythin the economy has actually been strong cos of construction.............and thez more goin on every 2 seconds andnew towns being built.....

What tool do project managers use in the construction industry, anyone?

The superintendent is the backbone of any Pms job. I feel like his/her role as a super has been hugely under valued in this video. We need you to do paperwork, not tell us how to build a building. Put your finger away!

should a construction project manager have engineering background (bachelors degree in engineering)?

TBH, sounds like a challenging and stressful job. Running meetings too, ugh

Do you need a degree to become a construction manager? If not, what are other alternative routes to becoming one?

work visa have

I'm out after 4 decades of wrestling in the mud.

A friend has a big construction company. He offered me a job as an entry level project manager and he will train me. I've always been into cars indurtry as manager and business owner and in the medical field. I have remodeling experience but nothing at the level of PM. I'm a good multi tasker and like getting my hands dirty. How hard will this be without a degree?

👍

I would like to take Construction engineering and management as my program. Can i take a PE?

Anyone can suggest best universitys for construction management course in USA?

Is there a difference when having a degree in project management vs construction management?

КТО С ПОЛИТЕХА СТАВИМ ЛАЙК!

Colorado State University! Baybaa baybaa

I am a Boise state university graduate. I loved it very very very much. I graduated from Boise state university on may 1995 . I am from the Republic of Yemen.

One more thing i want to open my own business company where can i start and how can i start ?

Could I design and build houses with construction management degree?

Ive been in the trades my whole life from framing to concrete. I was considering going to school for construction management, do you think it would be worth the time and money? should i just work up the ranks? what are my options with the degree and experience?

1:37 Skylar White was a Project Manager before? lol

Just wondering why u need good grades ? Does it really help you in your every day life ? I believe the only thing the matter is the person "passion" for the job or duty.

I have a civil engineering degree ,i want to learn from you. Can you have me as an assistant???

the job site he took us is a hospital that's already built. wtf?

no jobs :/

The guy in the video is doing the job of a "Contracts Manager", he is more office based rather than site based.

Add some funny scenes to the show so it's not so boring, you can borrow something from every scene, think of pawn stars

Damn yall wear ties??

I have my own commercial construction company. I do NOT recommend construction career to anyone. Construction is a pain.

Whatever you do, don't fill your curriculum with communications classes! As a CM with 13yrs exp, you MUST know the trades! I don't care how well you communicate. If you don't know HOW to build something, you're gonna be the laughingstock of the project. I benefited from growing up in this industry. Most of you will have to hire on somewhere to get your experience. However you do it, it will pay off immediately. I can only assume that this guy can fill out RFIs, POs and daily logs with the best of them, but how will he handle the carpenters questions about header size or the excavator's question about the manhole inverts? Will he simply pass off those questions to the engineers? Constantly doing that brings your value in question. Also, don't show up on site wearing a suit and tie.....the men don't want to talk to a suit. They want to talk to another contractor. Lace up your boots, cupcake. You may just have to get dirty.

I thought to myself why aren't they wearing mask lol

I majored in Construction Management at Northern Iowa and I feel like I made a bad choice because of this economy the construction industry has been hit the hardest. I graduate in 2012 hopefully the job outlook will be better then.

As a Junior CM with 10+ years of experience....this is just a show with clean tie ....Things are NOT going like that in reality!!! This is just B***S***

Meetings and emails, tough day. None of the people in this video actually do anything

Indeed, we have sent down to you clear revelations, along with examples of those who had gone before you, and a lesson to the God-fearing. Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light1 is like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining star, lit from the oil of a blessed olive tree, located neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light. And Allah sets forth parables for humanity. For Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

Fake video, I didn't hear on F-bomb
