Thank you comment icon "Construction field" is not a well-defined term. Does that include architects? Engineers? The CEO of a multi-national construction company? The latter could make millions per year. Fred Rosenberger

Mike’s Answer

This is a great question. The possibilities here are endless. You can get an entry level job paying minimum wage or own a construction company, which can be very lucrative! There are a ton of examples of folks that have started at entry-level and learned the business - whether it's residential construction, business construction or road construction - then started their own company and done very well. Don't think about where you start in a job, try to think about your long term happiness in any job/industry.

William’s Answer

The way to make the most money with any company/job is to become part owner or part stakeholder in the business - i.e. profit sharing, stock options, etc. This usually involves reaching a high level in the company such as Senior Manager, Director, Vice-President, C-Suite Executive. Typically this positions are earned based on the value you bring to the company by either repeatedly delivering successful results on challenging projects or by your ability to sell and obtain new work for the company.

George’s Answer

There is a HUGE RANGE of salaries available in construction trades.

Start could be at minimum wage for unskilled labor.

Add education, training, skills, experience, your own business, specialty & high demand trades, state license, bonded, insured, business experience & relationships, marketing, reputation, employ other highly skilled trades people in teams, ...a person should be well into the six-figure range.

The more you bring to the table, and the harder you work, all the more you can make.
