I am going on my 4th year as a scheduler and you can't push me out of this career with a filthy mop. I've worked in Industrial and Large Commercial. Ability to easily make 6 figures within 3-5 years(and you usually get OT), you don't have the stressful responsibility of a Project Manager(been there done that, sucks), you work a schedule similar to engineers most of the time, and you get to work in the office and field 50/50 for the most part. Great opportunity to be involved with all phases and departments of construction/projects from walking with field personnel to develop a plan and then updating executives on schedule and cost performance. As far as degrees or qualifications, they range from no degree to Masters in Engineering or Business. There is some computer software to learn and get certified on but thats about it. Very good opportunity for many people.
