Luke asked:


My dad owns a construction company right now and I think that when he retires, I want to take it over. I want to go to college for business and construction. Is this really necessary though. The reason I want to go to college is because I want to turn it into a huge company and I want the tools and knowledge to make that happen. Is this a good decision?

What job could i do? graduate or not?

i’m 22, male, have a 2:1 degree in Psychology, i have a full motorcycle license (and its my only real hobby, fixing, riding etc) but unfortunately no car license, go to the gym regularly, am good looking, computer literate, ppossescommon sense, am a hard worker, dedicated, punctual and intelligent.

im looking for a job where i can earn as much money as possible now, not after a few years into the job climbing the ladder. preferably above £21,000 a year.

the only real job experience has been working in a metal works factory which entailed programming, tooling and maintaining 3 punch presses (with a value of £1.2m) for 14 months when i finished school, in charge of 3 people to operate the machines.

the other job was working for a construction company for a total of 17 months (between breaks at uni during the holidays and since finishing) doing general labouring and assisting with all trades on site.

as much as i enjoyed these jobs, and did them to pay my way through uni and clear debts fast (labouring was tax free and i could earn £480 p/w) i need to find a new/proper job especially considering the current economic climate regarding the construction industry.

does anyone have any ideas?

your help is much appreciated

Finch Construction Company provides its employees who are carpenters w/all the required tools. However, the company believes that this has led to some employees not taking care of the tools and to the mysterious disappearance of some of the tools. the Company is considering requiring all of its employees to provide their own tools. Employee’s salaries would be increased by $1,500 to compensate for their addt’l costs.

Write a letter to Finch’s managment explaining the tax consequences of this plan to the carpenters.

I am trying to come up with a logo and it is for a construction company starting with an R. I wanted to do something cool with making the R out of a tool, but can’t think of one. If this makes any sense, please help!

diamond asked:


I am running a virtual office for a new construction company. Along with defining the company image, I need to help them network. What is the process for becoming an insurance approved construction company? Should I just begin by contacting each company on an individual basis? Or is there a site for general information? Thank you.
