Construction Estimating is hands-down one of the BEST careers you can get into and here’s why:
Average starting pay is $60k–$85k/year with zero degree required.
Experienced estimators easily clear $100k–$150k+ (many hit six figures in under 2 years)
Massive shortage of skilled estimators = companies are desperate to hire
100% remote or hybrid roles are common
Recession-resistant — construction never stops
You can be job-ready and earning in months, not years
