I've been lurking on the forums for quite awhile and decided to sign up to possibly get an answer to a question. I'm a construction management major looking to graduate next year and I have a concern. I don't have any "on site" experience to go along with my degree and wanted to see if you all think it would be necessary.
I've worked full time throughout college as an assistant project manager at an architecture firm and a project engineer on the client side of construction, but never for an actual construction company. My one year internship is ending soon and I am considering getting a job as a laborer to "learn the ropes" and get some hands-on experience, or continuing on with the pencil pushing jobs.
Any thoughts as to which route would help me be a better manager down the road?
