I am looking for advice on degree recommendations. I currently work as a cost estimator for a small industrial painting company in a large city in Texas. I help with takeoffs on the painting side, but I also have learned to do takeoffs and help estimate the cost of commercial remodels, which has resulted in a higher pay for me. I really like this about the construction industry, in that you can learn new things and add value to companies and advance without having to deal with strict educational requirements. I do, however, want to at least get a bachelors degree to give me a competitive edge in the construction job market. I have the option to continue my education and get a degree in architecture (which I have already started) or engineering / construction management (would have to pivot into coursework focused on that). I feel like the earning potential in the construction industry is higher and you have more options to earn in this field. I also think that an engineering degree will allow me to be more educated on problem solving in the construction field, which would give me more value as an employee since I would be able to help solve problems that are a higher dollar amount (think industrial and civil projects) . Architecture seems to lend itself strictly to design and not necessarily to the construction and hands on aspect of building. Also, the school requirements for architecture do not fit my current lifestyle. I work during the day, although my schedule is mildly flexible. All of my architecture classes are not offered online, and would allow me to not work 3 days out of the week. Engineering, on the other hand, would allow me to do classes 100% online, which would not affect my ability to earn or affect my take home pay at the end of the week. Please help
