So like construction management questions?

Did the manhole pass inspection, do I need a change order...?

Too bad it's a few years away.

I'm not waiting on that one, but it sounds like something much closer to my experience and something I'd be interested in taking if it were available now.

Ive been bitchin that they needed that for years.

I worked in construction thru college and for five years out.

speaking of huge, is DV's pencil really big or is his head really small?

I think this is a good move - I am impressed that they are doing something like this.

I would most likely take this if it were being offered right now - am going the Transpo route.

That's Bill Cowher, and his head is small.

you know in GA if you even remotely put the words "construction & management" in the same paragraph on your experience list, they wont count that time towards the # of years(i dont agree with) maybe it will force them to change?

& I dont want to see the CPM problems on the PM section for that test, I just imagine a 11X17 fold out piece of paper......

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ What's CPM?

 

[Road Guy]

critical path method (schedules) stuff they did in 1970 that we now do in Microsoft Project,etc,

It's still left up to each individual state board to accept the changes.
