during their undergraduate degree,it might be easy to assume they would not be fit to enter into the construction management field.Employers do not typically require high levels of job understanding when hiring students out ofcollege. They look for work ethic and a foundation of basic skills required to carry out entry-level duties that fit within the bounds of their employment. College students, upon leaving theiruniversity, are not immediately ready to perform every aspect of their job. They need trainingand time to develop skills. Finance students might not be able to act as a field engineer, but theirskills with money management, forecasting, and analytics make them extremely valuable office-level engineers.
