A LOT of people message me asking how to start their career
in construction. Highschool students specifically ask me how to get their
career started at a young age without work experience. This is your answer!

HVAC technician, plumber, pipe fitter … or even an airplane mechanic, this I a
great opportunity to become educated AND start your career while you are still
in school!

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

Working in construction sounds dirty, it sounds back
breaking, but most people do not realize the variety of opportunities there are
