https://padlet.com/eyafe003/2fgutlvl5vybtih1 My main goal right now is to learn as much as possible about what it takes to be a successful construction manager. This career path is very intriguing to me and one that I can truly see myself doing for the rest of my life. I want to learn as much as possible about this career at my time here at the University of Minnesota and I will start by asking questions and gathering information from people who are educated on the career. The maroon and gold network is a website with gopher alumni who are working in their fields and is a way to connect with them and ask questions and communicate with them. I personally feel that is a great way to learn about my career path and is something I plan to utilize! en-us 2024-09-10 22:25:52 UTC 2024-09-12 22:43:39 UTC hello@padlet.com eyafe003 https://padlet.com/eyafe003/2fgutlvl5vybtih1/wish/3112912450 This is an image of a blueprint, as a construction manager blueprints will be something used daily and very frequently.

Hence the desktop photo.

People in this field are excellent at math which is a big part of the job.

In order to be a successful construction manager, you have to be willing to put in work off the clock and be prepared for busy summers as that is when most construction jobs take place.
