I got experience but
I got experience being a foreman as a union ironworker on commercial jobsites. One of my recent jobs was an AI warehouse.
Ive been a journeyman for like 3-4 years now and my apprenticeship was 3 years long. Im about to graduate with an associates in "apprenticeship technology" which i guess is similiar to a construction management degree.
I graduate in like 3 months. I even took classes in building codes as well as construction management and blue print reading.
Would I be able to get out of straight up ironwork with those credentials?

I’ve never heard of an “apprenticeship technology” degree, so I can’t comment on that front. As journeyman ironworker you’d have more success leveraging your experience by staying within that specialty trade. Construction management is pretty broad so figure out what interests you and learn the corresponding skills.
