You are entering a dynamic and ever growing industry. I started out just wanting to be a carpenter as I enjoyed making things. Then through the years i worked as an estimator for a large scale Union company in the city of Boston. Now i am in Wireless telecom and have built quite a few tower sites.
That is what i really enjoy about construction, it has so many paths you can take all in relation to general construction practices and knowledge
The environment in the construction field can be a wide range from being in your work boot's down literally in the trenches as well as wearing a shirt and tie in a large office setting managing all aspects of the construction projects
Hope this helps...
Thanks

The Construction profession is ever changing and today is no different in providing opportunities for long term employment. If available to you, I would spend the time studying Construction Management to learn the Professional functions of the Construction field. If not, the Construction field offers wonderful entry intern and apprenticeships to learn a specific discipline and get you started in your Construction career.
All the best in your future pursuits.
Best, bill
