Helping people find a better career, better life style, and better mind set. Not enough people are aware of the opportunities in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industries! There is NO OTHER industry that offers such a broad spectrum of career paths with such high probabilities of substantial wealth. While most people think of the industry as "boots and jeans" working for "slave wages". Very few people are aware that most skilled trades people make well over $100,000 per year. Most are also unaware of the project management and executive positions available through out the industry. Not to mention the golden opportunities to become an entrepreneur and your own boss! This podcast highlights all of these opportunities, the increasing demand, decreasing supply, advancement and effect of new technology, and more. Most importantly our guests will share their stories of triumph over struggles such as poverty, difficulties in childhood, drug addiction, racism, immigration, mental health, disabilities, and more.... Please listen and share! You never know who's life will change from listening to this podcast!

#039 Effects Of Racism Across Generations, Not Being A Victim, Finding Success In Construction Jobs!

This episode introduces you to the "white collar" world of construction with my former colleague Sam Gray. Sam is an Assistant Project Manager for a 9-figure General Contractor in Southwest Florida, working on a range of projects that includes; hotels, multi-family high rises, hospitals, country clubs, etc.Sam embodies everything that an executive in construction wants to see in young talent. To be honest, Sam embodies many qualities that I want my own son to embody one day. Sam IS hard work, discipline and heart... combined with confidence, humility, and a HUNGER to learn. He demands to earn his education and experience before he gets to the next step.Sam shares he and his family's experience with racism; from what it was like during the segregation era in Louisiana, to the construction industry in the 1970's and 1980's, to today. He describes the effect that had on his father, how his father used that to forge him into the man he became, and how he used it to forge Sam into the resilient man he is today (spoiler, Sam's father is his hero and has no time for a victim mentality). Finally Sam shares his perspective of the construction industry today, as well as a message to those who may not be considering the industry because of a negative narrative that may have been created in their mind.You won't want to miss this one!What is the Construction Mentor Podcast?This podcast covers everything there is to know about construction jobs.

#024 How To Pursue a Career as an Electrician, Where? When? What Salary? with Bob Terry

Listen to Episode 24 of the Construction Mentor Podcast to find out how the Independent Electrical Contractors can help you enter the construction industry by developing your skills as an electrician. This is one of the highest paying niches in the trades and my #2 recommendation for anyone considering this as a career path.The national average is $65,000 per year before overtime. In larger markets like New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, etc. electricians are making over $50 per hour before overtime. That is $100,000 per year, before benefits.In smaller markets with much lower costs of living they are making $46,000 to $64,000 as you learned in this video. In either case, all trained and skilled electricians have the option to start their own business and take this valuable skill to their community, where the sky is the limit for yearly earnings!If you are interested in a career as an electrician go to ieci.org for more information! You don’t need experience, and it is NEVER too late to start your career!Key words...Construction Jobs, Construction Manager, Construction Saletraining, Construction Fails, Construction Simulator, Construction vehicles, Constructionsounds, Construction truck, Construction accidents, Construction sites, Constructionjobs interview, construction jobs that pay well, construction jobs with noexperience, Jobs that pay well without a degree, jobs that can make youa millionaire, jobs that pay well, jobs that pay over 100k, jobs that allow youto travel, jobs that don’t require a college degree, jobs that AI can’t replace,jobs that Pay 100k a year without a degree, jobs that will be replaced with AI,jobs that will make you a millionaire, jobs that make over 100k a year, jobsthat hire immediatelyCareers that make a lot of money, careers in finance,careers for introverts, careers that don’t require a degree, careers without adegree, careers in techBlue collar millionaires, blue collar boys, blue collar man,blue collar edu, Skilled trades shortage, skilled trades that pay well,skilled trades vs college, skilled trades in demand, skilled trades are dying,skilled trades jobs, skilled trades podcast, skilled tradesman, Student loan forgiveness, student loan debt, student loansexplained, student loan crisis, student loan plannerHighest starting salaries, Carpenter work, carpenter tools, carpentry basics, carpentrywork, carpentry podcasts, carpentry apprenticeship, carpentry hacks, carpentry course,carpentry projects, carpentry tips, carpentry schoolsElectrician work, Electrician tools, Electrician basics, Electricianwork, Electrician podcasts, c Electrician apprenticeship, Electrician hacks, Electriciancourse, Electrician projects, Electrician tips, Electrician schools,electrician vs plumber, electrical design, electrical engineering, electricalbasics, electrical wiring, electrical engineering course electricaltroubleshootingHVAC tech, HVAC system, HVAC work, HVAC tools, HVAC basics, HVACwork, HVAC podcasts, HVAC apprenticeship, HVAC hacks, HVAC course, HVAC projects,HVAC tips, HVAC schools, HVAC vs plumber, HVAC design, mechanical engineering
