Construction Project Manager
Duties and Responsibilities: The duties and responsibilities for a construction project manager run the gamut from hiring the contractors to responding to citizen calls concerning the project’s compliance with zoning laws. An experienced and well educated professional, the construction project manager is well equipped to deal with these and other issues.

Education: there are usually no specific educational requirements for entry level construction workers. Apprentice laborers are often expected to have a high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma

Reflection: I would want to be a construction worker because they make a lot of money and it doesn’t require no type of education just a high school diploma.
