I could begin while I'm in college. For BCIT we have to do an industry sponsored project and I could start general contracting before having the money to get into development. I have lots of family involved in construction and a few of them have been fairly successful contractors that could help make the learning curve a little less steep over the next couple of years. I might never start If I spend so much time after a bachelors degree program getting a J.D. or starting over now to do a degree in engineering and then going through the years of work experience it takes to become a real engineer. I already know the actual process of building a building and I have no problem understanding and working with engineers in the way thats required. I could just start
It's probably the best option because I am in a good situation to take risks when I don't have a huge mortgage, wife, and kids. I'm going to need money in the future to get into doing larger projects. When would a banker care about whether or not I have an MBA? I think past experience, actual financial ability, and the deal at the table is what matters the most right?
