If building is your passion, then we hope you'll pursue it regardless of fame and fortune. The satisfaction rate for construction services majors is right around the middle. Not too shabby.
The median salary for construction services, however, is anything but shabby.
The median salary for all college graduates is $55,000, which is $15,000 less than graduates just in the construction services major. In other words, the middle of the college graduate pack makes about the same as the 25th percentile of construction services graduates. That should put dollar signs in your eyes and a smile on your face.
Another reason to rejoice is the 89% of graduates who didn't go back to school. Your Bachelor's degree alone will most likely take you anywhere you'd like to be in the wide world of construction.
All in all, you'll have it made. You've got a career that potentially pays higher than most others, requires no additional graduate education, and is heavily based on practical experience—experience that you may actually enjoy getting.
