Paul’s Answer

It really depends on how high you wish to go.

Positions, such as project management, usually require some sort of credential, either professional certificate or degree.

I know some individuals, who have reached the level of foreman, or manager who have a bachelors degree.

3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue

Scott’s Answer

What would you like to pursue in construction?
If you would like to be a tradesman I would contact that trades union local to get started in their apprenticeship programs instead of college.
Project management would require college degree .

Lucy’s Answer

It is recommended but it's not mandatory. Meaning to say having undergone and educational program in college may boost your levels and insights of doing construction which is in the field of engineering. However, it is a hands on skill meaning to say you could even attend workshops and short programmes about contraction. E.g to be come and artist it's not mandatory to go to art school. It's all about getting the skills and if you have other options in which they are to obtain those skills much more quicker and effectively....college may be an option but should be your only getaway.

Robert’s Answer

Daniel,

Sorry, I didn't see you askes a 2nd question.
NO, you do not have to go to college unless you want to do something like architecture or go to a trade school instead of college to get ahead of laborers without any experience.

Thanks,

Bob K.

Lirio’s Answer

College can be beneficial for a career in construction, especially if you’re interested in roles like construction management, civil engineering, or architecture. A degree in construction management or civil engineering provides a strong foundation in the technical and managerial aspects of the industry.

If you’re more focused on hands-on work, trade schools offer programs in areas like carpentry, electrical work, or plumbing. These can be great options if you prefer practical training over a traditional degree.

Ultimately, the best path depends on your interests and career goals. Consider what aspects of construction appeal to you most and explore programs that align with those interests.
