@luislockedin: I’m not afraid to admit I chose Construction Management instead of Civil Engineering 🏗️🤷 Here’s why 👇 — 1. I’m not built for a desk 🦺 - CM keeps me on site every single day. Walking the job, leading crews, watching concrete get poured and steel go up. It’s awesome. 2. The money hits the same (or harder) 💸 - People are sleeping on CM salaries. You can match or beat a lot of engineering roles — especially once you’ve got field experience and start moving up. The ceiling is real. 3. I wanted to run projects, not calculate them 🏗️ - Engineers design it. I build it. I’m the one managing the schedule, directing the work, making the calls on the ground. That responsibility excites me more than being a calculator. 4. My personality doesn’t fit in a cubicle 🤷 - I enjoy working with people and building relationships. I lead, I communicate, I build with subs, owners, and everyone in between. CM rewards that. A desk doesn’t always. — #construction #civilengineer #engineer #constructionmanagement #projectmanager

Civil Engineering Degree > CM Degree. You could have done the same thing on the consulting side on Civil construction projects and gotten far better pay than any GC would pay you

CM is a branch of Civil Engineering, you can’t be a CM without legal certified CE degree. In CE, there are multiple branch such as Structural, GEO, Transportation, Hydro, CM, Environment,…

James Neville :
I tell people this example because it’s true. I went the CM route and it pays damn near the same if not more. The difference between the two is, CE’s design the puzzle and the CM puts the puzzle together. I’d rather be a CM then CE mainly because you’re watching it go up and understand why it’s going up the way it is

The word civil makes civil engineering the mother of engineering ,you’re still a civil engineer as a construction management.
