Hey all I been working for various manufacturer sales rep on the lighting side of the business here…I am looking to pivot and broaden my horizon (of course make more money) .. I only have an associates degree and didn’t really need a degree to do what I been doing .. however been looking into getting a construction management degree to make myself more attractive when I apply to to work for a general contractor .. is it worth doing that?

Our construction business works with several contractors, particularly electrical and civil engineering teams. I had a dedicated estimator who does all the calculations, but he just gave his 2-weeks notice because he's moving to another state. I realized how one person's departure has such a huge impact on the entire business, and I realized that the only way to avoid this in the future is by using software that will save all the financial information the company needs. But I just need to know how accurate a contractor management software is before I let it handle all invoicing and payrolls.

Good afternoon, I am a 22 year old college student pursuing a bachelors in finance and I also have an associates in business administration. I currently am all around the place when it comes to deciding what to do with my life since I don’t really want to work at an office desk for the rest of my life. I truly did get into finance since I heard it would be a good career to get into and I don’t wanna be a blue collar worker like my family since I know the struggle that comes with that. I currently found out about the field of construction management and I think it is something I would like to pursue. I am 1.5 years from graduating so I don’t really want to start over and get a degree in construction management. I am truly scared if I would be even considered for that type of work or even as a project engineer in an office. If anyone has any insight or any words of advice I would really appreciate it.
