Q: Hows the construction management job market in Florida?
Do Architects, Designers, Project Managers get paid well in florida?

A: Well, the woman that runs the design company that I work for in GA moved here from FL and also brought with her several of her old installers. The guy that cuts our granite countertops actually drives up here every week from Tallahassee just to work. He leaves a family in FL every week to work in ga. We are about 3 or 4 hours away from Tallahassee. I have a tile vendor in south FL that has not had many good things to say about the housing market down there either. He is from the Miami area. Hope this is helpful.

A: Usually you start out in costing, supply management or related areas. He should also investigate apprenticeship programs, as they ultimately pay much higher (although they involve more manual labor). Depends where you live and what the industry in the area is paying, but I would think $30,000 to start.

Q: What is better Construction management/engineering or instrumentation engineering as a career?
My background is chemical engineering with a diploma in mechanical engineering from a well reputed Canadian university . I did not find a break in process engineering thus far and I was doing instrumentation engineering for a year and found it quite boring. I decided to take a job as a construction engineer starting this month. I realize its a very civil sort of direction to my career and would be involved with the oil and gas sector (something I like) as opposed to instrumention where I was involved with the mining industry. I am wondering what is the scope if I were to focus my career in construction engineering/estimating. What would be the pay scale down the road, growth and finally easy employability. Thanks

A: I have worked many years in the engineering field and you have already touched on the two most lucrative specialties; chemical engineering and instrumentation engineering. I agree however that each of those are little be on the theorhetical side and you don't really get to see stuff built. Mechanical engineering on the other hand can work in just about any sector. It's like the business degree of the engineering world. You however want to know about Contruction Mgmt. Well, if you like the outdoors and enjoy travelling to the job site, wherever it may be, then this career path can be very rewarding. You can pretty much get an easy start without much experience. Mostly because not a lot of people want to be far from home. Experience will greatly enhance your earning potential but you will get that and then some just after your first major project. I would suggest hooking up with a large construction firm and learn from them before trying to take your skills to a smaller market. Good luck.

Q: ITT TECH Construction Management degree program: Has anyone completed it?
Have you or someone you know completed the bachelor's degree program in construction management from ITT? Was it worth while? Were you able to find a good job in the field? Do you feel you learned as much as you should or could have elsewhere?

A: As with any education, you get out of it what you put into it. ITT Tech is about the most expensive place you can go to school at, which a associates degree costing almost $35,000, not including room and board, like other Universities figure into their cost. Also, the school is not accredited by any of the large accreditation groups, which means that your credits will NOT transfer. In fact, say you get an associates or bachelors from them and try to go to another school for the next higher degree, (bachelors or masters), they will not take your credit, meaning you will have to start all over again from scratch. I am not trying to tell you not to go there, because I think any education is great and each person should get as much as they can throughout their life in any and all areas, not just for work, but for fun too. However, this might not be your best choice, instead look for more traditional schools (state colleges or universities) that offer online programs or have programs that work for your needs. Construction is more of a hands on thing then a degree needed field, thus i am not sure how much help this will actually be for you. Good luck.

Q: I want to do a masters in construction management?
we know the construction industry is cyclical and unpredictable. Yet it can be quite rewarding in its booming season. I dont know if getting a masters can help give some job security and moreso are there jobs readily for other graduates in Georgia other than Georgia Tech. Thanks

A: Make sure the school's undergraduate degree (probably a BS-Industrial Technology) is NAIT accredited. I went to the NAIT website and found ~11 accredited schools with Bachelor's degrees in Construction Management. Many of the schools offer a Master's in Construction Management. Bowling Green has a highly respected Master's in Construction Management & Technology.

Q: Does anyone have a degree in construction management?
Or know of someone who has one? Would you recommend it? High job prospects? Starting salary?

A: The salary and job availability depends on where you are. But, construction isn't something that is going to go away anytime soon. The jobs are out there. I'd recommend that you look at your local newspaper on Sunday and see what jobs are advertised. You may be surprised. Good luck!
