#45: CONSTRUCTION MANAGER
This job is proof that a blue collar career can be lucrative - not only in income, but also in growth opportunities. The catch? You’ve got to be willing to start at the bottom and work your way up. That’s exactly how Ryan “Ike” Eisenhauer went from cleaning job sites at 14 y.o. to a facilities director at 35. But how do you land that first construction job when you’ve zero experience? Does a college degree give you a leg up in the industry? And why does Ike wish he’d paid more attention in English class?
You can learn more from Ike on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/the_construction_mentor/) and through his construction project management course (https://coursecareers.com/course/construction-management?campaign=IG&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn_ZG7xYqrtIXHmoF__8OXe-bw_DZGenbYsfm0ZhNRdfv8e9dEjRytzSYARQU_aem_WWxAgxL7v5qPjJEApjlFKw&a=ike).
