Engineering vs. Other (appropiatly placed this time, I hope)

[billbk75]

apprenticeship training counts for credit toward an associates degree at a particular community college. Not just a little credit either, but a LOT of credit.

Yes, Pellissippi Community College has 2 Associate Degrees, one that the apprenticeship covers most of and is somewhat of a dead end, and one that you have to start basiclly from scratch, get your AS and transfer to Middle Tennessee State University where the apprenticeship will be applied to a bachelors in Construction Management. I looked at this and considered it, but I've seen what construction managers have to put up with every day and it's not a job that I would work very hard to get. It's alot of paperwork and settleing disputes between trades and pushing people to maintain what seems like an impossible schedule. I realize that many engineers have to deal with this too, but not to the same extent and it's not all they do all day long (usually). Anyway, thanks for the tips. I apperciate you taking the time to answer me.
