I’m doing a report for my class and have to research into different businesses. For example, I’d like to know how much a typical construction business makes in a year, etc.
I need help with my major!?
okay so im graduating in june and im going to anne arundel community college for 2 years to see if im fit for college, then hopefully transfer. I really want to major in construction management which they offer. With that degree i could be a cost estimator, superintendent well assistant superintendent first, inspector, etc. I have a wide range. I could do the dirty work as a project manager or more office work with cost estimating. My uncle was the superintendent of water and waste water treatment plane construction for pizzagalli construction. He didn’t go to college but he started at the bottom, he helped build the Denver int airport right out of high school then he moved back to his hometown near where i live.
Okay back to me, i don’t want to sit at a desk all day long, i like using my hands and move around. I would like to get into the waste water construction field or highway/road construction. Maybe bridge or skyscrapers but idk bout height.
Anyways my parents are advising against it, i know the residential construction is down, but commercial, come on, bridges roads, etc always need to be maintained. And according to the bureau of labor statistics, construction and its related field are supposed to be one of the fastest growing field in the next decade. well this is contradicting also the Maryland budget wast put out and there were 8 wastewater treatment plant upgrades from 5 to 11 million dollars in the budget in Annapolis and other cities. also construction management has on of the top ten highest average starting salaries
help i need advice
also i know i might have to move to where the construction jobs are which i don’t mind outta college which is close to where i live.
but i worried how i will do, i know little about construction and nothing about waste water treatment plant construction, will i learn this stuff on job site or college?
did you know the Bureau?
of Labor Statistics reports that women still earn only 80 cents for every dollar men make. The implication is clear. Women, it is assumed, are victims of a chauvinistic work world that undervalues their contributions. But is that assumption correct?
No…women have mostly themselves – and their career choices – to blame for their plight because women are less likely than men to put money first when making career decisions.
Instead, women sacrifice fat paychecks in exchange for work that is flexible, less risky and more fulfilling.
The fact is, when hours worked, areas of responsibility, and amount of uninterrupted experience are factored in men routinely earn less than women.
Do you agree that women need to reject their feelings of discrimination and take matters into their own hands by making better career decisions?
For example:
Concentrate on career options in the hard sciences, not the social sciences. Engineers and computer scientists get paid more than teachers, journalists, and social workers. Female engineering managers earn an average annual salary of ,000, but only 10 percent of professionals in the field are women.
Get hazard pay without the hazards. Women in the military have an 8-to-1 safety ratio over men (i.e., not a single woman in the Marines or Air Force has died in the War in Iraq).
Women cab drivers routinely work safer shifts (and sometimes areas) than their male counterparts, as well as get higher tips, in spite of not necessarily helping with the baggage. For women willing to think big, there’s the lucrative option of starting up a company in a male-dominated industry such as construction. Thanks to laws governing federal contracts and woman-owned businesses, they’ll have government agencies, universities, and other organizations competing for their services.
Choose fields with higher financial and emotional risks. Male doctors and lawyers earn more than females in part because they are more likely to be in private practice.
Risk is a huge reason venture capitalists earn between 0,000 and 0,000 a year – substantially more than supermarket cashiers who receive a regular paycheck and "check out" at the end of the day. About 91 percent of venture capitalists are men.
Put in the hours. People who work just ten hours more per week earn almost twice the pay.
Know the fields that pay women more than men. Female statisticians, for example, earn one third more than men, while female speech-language pathologists make 29 percent more. Farrell lists 39 fields that pay women at least 5 percent more than men.
Be willing to move – and to travel. Women account for half of today’s professionals, but only 18 percent of all employees transferred abroad, and only a similar percentage of frequent fliers. Women who move up are willing to both travel on the job and to relocate, especially overseas.
Consider a higher-paying specialty. A nurse, for example, who wishes to become a nurse anesthetist can make twice the pay of a general nurse. A nurse with a bit of wanderlust can earn much better income as a traveling nurse.
Do agree that many women will prefer to embrace the victim mentality – and continue to seek the wrong remedies instead of admitting the problem is in themselves?

Last month an overwhelming number of 22000 construction workers were laid off.

where can I find statistics on licensed construction contractors?
I need answers to questions like … How many licensed painting contractors are there in the nation? licensed plumbers? licensed tile setters? etc.
I'd like to know besides moral reasons, what damages reducing the prime rate will do.?
Who’s pocket will get hurt? Will that affect Wall Street? If the index rate goes down below… let say 5%. Everybody will start refinancing and since the banks already learn about sub-prime… All those new loans would be "safe". People will start buying investment properties, the Real Estate Industry, the Mortgage, the Construction, Furniture, Paint, Wood, etc, would regain strengh, and Banks will be able to survive. The government wouldn’t even have to think of subsidice people that if nothing get’s done will face forclosure. Please no politics. I want to know statistics, and financial investments opinions.
I’m not wory about the banks. Nor about the people who got in trouble. I like to know why the Gov. havent act lowering the prime rate and get the economy back in the tracks. Banks already learn their lesson, so for a lmited time… They will be cautious.
Dear Russ,
1. It wouldn’t be the firts time the Gov. drop the prime, therefore there are statistics out there. You may no knoe them, but there are.
2. Projections would do the tric for my question, but instead of expressing them, you answer as if you where teaching us the difference between Statistics and projections. (turn off).
3. You missed one simple fact. The prime was raised about 17 times one after the other, and you are quoting a one time almost insignificant.
4. Everytime the prime goes up or down is artificialy. It’s a desition made by a person or etity of something that is not natural.
5. The only time you got close to really answer my question you mentioned the fine print, and that my theory was flawed. Well it worked after Sept. 11th. Dem are asking the Gov to subsidice, and Rep to stay put. There is when the real middle class suffer the consecuences.
For the record… I want answers that gives pros and/or cons to my theory. Not a controversy. Thanks!
