Concrete sucks
I do concrete and work for a small company and am about halfway to becoming a finisher. I’m taking online classes as well to get an associates for business in applied science. I had a full ride to my local college and managed to get all of my classes online and only have to go in once a month for lecture. However, I wasn’t planning on attending school and am only taking classes due to the scholarship, and am not even sure if my degree would line up with anything I want to do. I enjoy my job doing concrete but it’s definitely not something I want for the rest of my life. I enjoy the labor, to an extent, and enjoy having a crew of guys who are also working their asses off to get something done. I like the work I do, but I know it’s not sustainable and doesn’t really have much room for growth besides a business. I am good at math but can’t imagine working inside the same building everyday, or not have at least some of the freedom you get with a job like concrete. I just am unsure what path I should try to steer myself to find something, or if my degree would even steer me anywhere I want to go.
