Better to go to Bradly for their business school. My daughter graduated from there and people take notice of degree from Bradley. My son has a lot of friends that go to Western. He used to party there a lot of weekends. Lower level state school.

Go for a business degree with some business law if you can. Construction management grads at other companies are a dime a dozen and the lowest life form in the industry. They are all trying to bust the subs to earn a rep. Not a good way to do business.

I have worked in the construction industry all my life. Seen all kinds. You will learn more about the management side from being family owned.

Good luck!

Thanks alot! You really helped me out and I understand what you mean about me learning the managment because of the family. I also have heard good things about Bradly. Thanks again.
