Construction Mentor Podcast

This week is suicide prevention week in

the construction industry. Did you know that you are 5.5 times more likely to

die from suicide as a person in construction than on the jobsite? Did you also

know that you are 4 times more likely to die from suicide than the general population?

Don’t worry, it is not something you can “catch” and it is not the reason you

think!

 In

this episode we talk about the mental health crisis in construction, where it

comes from, and what can be done about it. We also talk about why “stress” is

not the primary reason for mental health issues in the construction industry. Listen

and subscribe!

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

that pay well.

Working in construction sounds dirty, it sounds back

breaking, but most people do not realize the variety of opportunities there are

in construction…all available without breaking your back! In today’s world of

construction, avoiding construction accidents by working safely and

intelligently is a top priority!

These are jobs that pay well don’t require a degree. Many of

these jobs make over 100k per year and include benefits i.e., full health

benefits, access to construction vehicles, free construction trucks.

There is no glass ceiling with a career in construction, the

sky is truly the limit! With the right mentorship could be jobs that make you a

millionaire. Regarding job availability and security… these are jobs that will

hire immediately, AND these jobs are not jobs that will be replaced with AI.

The construction industry does not only have physically

laborious jobs on site. The construction industry offers several different

career paths that can make a lot of money; careers in finance, careers in

technology, careers in software, careers in 3D modeling, and 3D design, careers

in architecture, careers in engineering, careers that use AI, and even careers

that operate HEAVY machinery remotely which is almost like a career playing

video games in construction!

Supply and demand is the cardinal rule of economics. The

truth is that skilled trades are dying. The skilled trades shortage is so dire

that all skilled trades are in demand, meaning all skilled trades pay well.

Now, some do pay better than others which is why you need to listen to

construction podcasts and skilled trades podcasts like this one! This is the

best way to find out which blue collar education is the best path for your

future, and could even lead you to becoming a blue collar millionaire.

The construction industry is one of the few, or maybe THE

ONLY industry were the education does not cost you any money. Not only do you

avoid a student loan, but you get paid to get an education. Considering the

current student loan crisis, that makes these careers even more appealing. On

this podcast we do explain student loans and compare them to starting salaries.

Even if you still wanted to pay for an education, the construction related

majors have the highest starting salaries!

Our guests include professionals who are experts in

carpentry work, electrical work, HVAC work, and beyond! Join the conversation

Before you decide what college you would like attend and before you decide what career you would like to pursue, you must evaluate the cost of the education vs the salary this will enable you to make.

What does a college tuition cost? What will the student loan cost you each month for 30 years until it is paid off? How does the student loan interest rate effect that? What will your monthly budget look like after graduation? Is college the best option, or is a trade a better option?
