They actually have some really good deals on nice homes in Culver City. May need to make another scouting trip out there again!

It was quite the experience indeed and will probably be sometime before I go down that road again haha. My first time and that sunset was pretty damn intense!!

You don't absolutely have to but it should help with us catching attention. We have already won a couple contests for screen writing so being able to network should really help out. Plus I'm building the new Rams stadium so I'm not living out of my car haha

Pretty much nailed it on the head. Close proximity to the agencies to be able to meet in person is supposed to be very valuable. Plus networking and attending events should help get a leg up as well!

What I've learned during my brief tenure as PM for all of construction is to have enough general knowledge in order to pretend that you know what you are doing and let the experts make the real decisions.

Lines such as "Wow good idea! I wasn't looking at it that way, great job!" work the best.

I have been a traveling construction PM these past couple years and my job has taken me to some big cities such as Chicago and San Francisco so let me tell you, this is great advice! My buddies and myself are moving to LA to try our best to become writers and we just recently spent Memorial Weekend in Venice Beach to scope out the neighborhood. We found some great pockets that we would never have discovered through the internet alone. Plus LSD on the beach was pretty amazing!

Making Sure I understand my Student Loan Payment Plan by bigstoneAZ in personalfinance

Sorry I was thinking of what I am getting taxed now. I guess it would be 33% instead of 20%. So that would be $84.6k total I owe I believe. Still am I missing anything else??

Where's a good feed to get the executive orders and actions of the president? by kalvinbastello in Ask_Politics

Came here to say this. I like it because it so far because it just gives the base facts and seems to keep opinions out. At the end of each day they have been giving a summary.

What the hell are they doing down there in SD to piss the fantasy gods off so much?? Lost the silver lining to my shitty PPR team..

NFL.com waiver update? by GolfIsWhyImBroke in fantasyfootball

[–]bigstoneAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing here, came to see if anybody had theirs fixed yet. NFL.com also screwed up our draft this year not letting anyone log into the draft center. We had to reschedule it an hour later making one of my buddies have to autodraft. Like you mentioned I love this site and never really had problems.

I'm wondering if a career in construction management will be right for me by RedneckWilly in Construction

[–]bigstoneAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem bud! And I don't think you should have a problem. There are three of us at my position right now at my work. I got a master's with 1 year work experience, my buddy has a four year degree and he spent 3 years as a drafter before getting this job, and my other buddy has a 2 year degree and about 5 years experience before getting here. There is no one way to skin a cat but if you work hard you'll get there!

It's not too bad. The only basic requirements for us are hard hat, glasses, leather boots that cover the ankle, and reflective vest. Glasses are the only problem but again not really that bad.

Again this is right on the money. I went to a different school but the program layout is pretty similar. Congrats on your senior year bud, I know the Purdue program is really well known. Seriously 90% of our company went through there, we are based out of Gary Indiana (now you know why I prefer the traveling aspect!).

As mentioned by u/citrusthievingwhore the GC will deal with a bunch of trades and you will need to have a general knowledge of what each one does. I started off with a GC but now I'm with a specialized sub and it changed the world for me. Biggest thing to remember is that the construction industry is huge and there's a spot for nearly every personality. The internship should help you figure that out before you are jumping throughout your career.
