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!
