College: Where do you go?
- Thread starter Stealth
- Start date
graduated college already with a degree in fire technology... .
i decided that i dont want to be a firefighter anymore, because now with most departments you have to be a paramedic, and i'm not tryin to do that. i think if you want to be a firefighter you should specialize in exactly that... fighting fire.
right now i work in construction as a laborer, but will be changing unions to learn a trade. i have to go to apprentice school for 4 years, and when i'm finished with that, i will have another associates degree in mechanical engineering.. .

I goto USC on an academic scholarship. About to start my fourth of five years. Studying Civil Engineering / Construction Management, with a 3.62 Cum. GPA. I could get higher if I tried more, but I'm involved in a lot of shit and like to have a social life so I don't take grades seriously. I'm working for the Port of SF right now making good money, and hope to get a job with Turner Construction once school starts this semester. Plan on going to Grad school at Cal once I graduate.

just out of curiousity... how old are you dogg?
my old man is on the management side of construction. i feel like i'm too old to get into that now, like i'd almost be going backwards.... i also enjoy the physical work. however, there is some money to be made in construction, but much more on the management side of things.. .
why turner construction? .. . have you done any internships?

potfarm,
I'll be 22 this October. A project manager, which I eventually want to do, makes good money. I worked as a laborer for a few summers, this summer I am working an internship for the city of SF. I want to get an internship / part time job with Turner once school starts. I've met the owner of the company before, and know people who work there. Turner does a lot of recruiting from USC. It would be the easiest large construction company for me to get a job with while I'm in school. I want to be working and learning as much as I can during school so once I graduate I will have the experience to make some real money, for whatever company is best for me.
Construction Management kinda just landed on me. Always had an interest, but I started out wanting to be an architect. I soon realized architecture makes no money, so I got into civil engineering, and then into construction management.

I am enrolled at the University of Utah, but I dont take clases in the summer. I dont know what my major is and I have been going for three years, I dont even know why I am going. I probably wouldnt be going if my parents were not paying my tuition. I need to get my gpa up before I decide on a major.
