So, I am having such a difficult time finding contracts to look at and bid on that I am thinking I may have to create my own opportunity. What if I approached the Universities and offered myself up. I am a sixteen year professional licensed in two different states and perhaps I can inspire some young kid to chose contracting as their life plan. Maybe I can get the University to allow me to build something, perhaps a water tank or pedestrian/utility tunnel and at the same time pay me to consult with the teach staff of engineering and construction management as a traveling professor. I will consult the entire semester. Their students can then observe and learn from grubbing to punch list a project, on -campus, and in real time. Entrepreneurship can be taught.
Our infrastructure is aged and decaying. It was built decades ago and the neglect is wearing and showing from sea to shining sea. In light of our current economic conditions, it would seem wise on the Obama administrations part, to put our citizens back to work with a comprehensive recalibration of our highway and freeway systems. If we have to spend the money, then, we as citizens would like some nice roads and utilities. It makes a difference in our lives. Construction spurs the economy and creates jobs such as grocery stores, restaurants, laundry mats, building materials, rentals, accounting/payroll, petroleum, signs, etc. There is a lot of us out here that need a boost. We would prefer that we stop all foreign aid for five years and allow the world to turn without our contribution and divide that money equally between all fifty states and spend it directly on our infrastructure. Surely the worlds other countries can live without Americans for that long. The fate of this Nation lies in the success of our educations. The education is not in books. Life is the education.
