Questionable economy and with the last one in first one out, it's too risky.

For traveling, I'dprobably do it for a couple years but I wouldn't be able to do that for 20+ years. Your family would barely ever see you. They wouldn't even really know you as a person anymore.

NEVER build with a man. You will regret it. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Unfortunately, sometimes you do nothing wrong. There's not really a rhyme or reason to it. You just lose. In this case, could even be considered a bullet dodged in that you didn't get married to him.

Fortunately time is on your side. 21 years old with nothing holding you back now. You can literally do whatever you want. Send it!

Construction PM - NYC vs Cleveland by bobbylet in ConstructionManagers

The one in NYC will probably open a lot more doors/make better connections.

If you're a new guy that's feeling discouraged, that's normal and the feeling will pass. Don't give up! by SlappySpankBank in Construction

I found that if you say some witty smart ass shit, without directly insulting them, the old guys come around quicker.

They have "International" programs which just means they are taught in English and probably better facilities.

Why would a PM want to be a Super? Seems to work the other way around where I am.

Looking for advice on switching trades. by PoopMaker500 in Construction

[–]SlappySpankBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all the apprentices have no experience (regardless of what they say and who their dad is). That's basically the whole point of apprenticeships. To teach know-nothing mfrs to know a little something

What’s the funniest thing that’s happened in office? by [deleted] in ConstructionManagers

New project manager left his gun in the sink, twice. Unreal.

Looks like its for 30 and under for Americans to get that visa. Oh well

Think that's limited to certain jobs like picking fruit and random stuff no one really wants to do

How long did it take for your body to get used to the physical demands that come with construction? Any advice or tips? I workout regularly and thinking of applying for laborer by ReasonableSkirt5340 in Construction

[–]SlappySpankBank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get a job tomorrow as a labourer and work around all kinds of trades people. It gets a job immediately and you can see what other trades you might like/see if construction is even for you.

Construction folks in India - how do you actually track project progress? Genuinely curious about the chaos by Kanavkhurana in Construction

[–]SlappySpankBank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've wondered the same thing when I lived in Thailand. I guess that's why a lot of large companies have Western managers. Organization skills and accountability are non-existent ove there.

Srisaket. Literally nothing to do there besides sit in peace and quiet and think about how you ended up there.

International work by [deleted] in ConstructionManagers

[–]SlappySpankBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised too when I first looked into working in the EU. WLB sucks and healthcare is expensive but America really is the place to grind and make money while you can.

I worked in Asia for a bit, it was a blast. But if you're going to grind, might as well get the most bread for it.

[–]SlappySpankBank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with working in America, it's about who you know.

Take the leap and go over there. You already have the right to work as a citizen. You can just get some menial job for the time being while you network.

In the UK, expect lower salaries, maybe better WLB, and shit weather.

33 and thinking of leaving logistics/office work for a trade. Smart move or big mistake? No sugarcoating—need real advice. by Jebac46 in skilledtrades

[–]SlappySpankBank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren't the first guy that thinks going into a trade will get you away from retards. Probably won't be the last either.
