    Have no degree, instead have 4 years of experience, 3 of which as a foreman. With that experience I landed a position as a field engineer, which is a gateway into higher management in the civil side of construction

    I think a Civil Engineering degree with a concentration in Construction offers more value than a regular CM degree. You can get a PE license after 4 years also you can get your GC license in a year or 2 after graduation.

    Started off at the bottom of my families company. They shut the doors so my brother and I started our own construction company.
    Not too concerned with the degree, but I would love to know some important/recommended certifications

    Save your money. Go work in the trades and work your way up. Earn a paycheck and gain experience. You will be in a much better place at 22 or 23 with no debt from college.

    got blessed with an opportunity to work/shadow a GC specializing in residential new-build projects. However, I do not have much technical knowledge/experience in construction (currently hold a finance degree). What are some resources I can teach myself these skills? Thank you in advanced

      Talk to the trades on site. Ask questions as they build. I remember working as a framer and a new CM was always asking questions about framing. He ended up with a pretty good idea of the process after a while.

    CM degree sucks. Please to all my freshman or higher school seniors that want to go the CM route, my advice is to get a civil engineer degree or construction engineer. Buh if you want less maths, I would suggest you get a business administration degree then minor in Construction management.
