    Time for a job report! In this episode

    we bring in George Arnold, a recruiter in the construction industry. George

    shares insights about the construction jobs market across North America and the

    United Kingdom! We cover what states are hot for construction jobs, and which

    are not, how many apprenticeships are available across the country, how do you

    become a project manager or project superintendent, and how much do they make?

    This episode is all about statistics and what they mean for the future of

    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!
