Keep learning every chance you get--particularly seminars on managing change. That's what causes the most trouble on most projects--changes to the scope of work. There's a lot of help out there--some of it at no cost. For instance, if you go to FullContactTeam.com, you can get a 5-part mini-course on RFIs and change order management--at no cost.

If you go to MasonryMagazine.com, you can get current and past articles from the column, "Full Contact Project Management".

Make a commitment to continuing education, as opposed to worrying about whether you have a construction management degree from a university.

Thank you for this information. I am trying to break into the field. Working on an Interior Design Degree (2nd career). I've now have a Blue Print reading Certificate (full semester course), also taking AutoCAD this semester.
