Shawn did not have the "traditional" upbringing we have come to know in the U.S. but Shawn does not feel like he is missing out. Shawn shares his story, what it was like being homeschooled, being raised on the jobsite, getting married at 18 years old, building a home for his family, and his future in construction.

What is the Construction Mentor Podcast?
This podcast covers everything there is to know about
construction jobs. Whether it be advice for a career as a construction manager
or construction entrepreneur, OR if you are looking for construction jobs that
pay well. Especially construction jobs that pay well without experience or jobs
that pay well.
Working in construction sounds dirty, it sounds back
breaking, but most people do not realize the variety of opportunities there are
in construction…all available without breaking your back! In today’s world of
construction, avoiding construction accidents by working safely and
intelligently is a top priority!
These are jobs that pay well don’t require a degree. Many of
these jobs make over 100k per year and include benefits i.e., full health
benefits, access to construction vehicles, free construction trucks.
There is no glass ceiling with a career in construction, the
sky is truly the limit! With the right mentorship could be jobs that make you a
millionaire. Regarding job availability and security… these are jobs that will
hire immediately, AND these jobs are not jobs that will be replaced with AI.
The construction industry does not only have physically
laborious jobs on site. The construction industry offers several different
career paths that can make a lot of money; careers in finance, careers in
technology, careers in software, careers in 3D modeling, and 3D design, careers
in architecture, careers in engineering, careers that use AI, and even careers
that operate HEAVY machinery remotely which is almost like a career playing
video games in construction!
Supply and demand is the cardinal rule of economics. The
truth is that skilled trades are dying. The skilled trades shortage is so dire
that all skilled trades are in demand, meaning all skilled trades pay well.
Now, some do pay better than others which is why you need to listen to
construction podcasts and skilled trades podcasts like this one! This is the
best way to find out which blue collar education is the best path for your
future, and could even lead you to becoming a blue collar millionaire.
The construction industry is one of the few, or maybe THE
ONLY industry were the education does not cost you any money. Not only do you
avoid a student loan, but you get paid to get an education. Considering the
current student loan crisis, that makes these careers even more appealing. On
this podcast we do explain student loans and compare them to starting salaries.
Even if you still wanted to pay for an education, the construction related
majors have the highest starting salaries!
Our guests include professionals who are experts in
carpentry work, electrical work, HVAC work, and beyond! Join the conversation
every Tuesday morning at 4:30AM!
