dunno what country you're from but in the US a BA is usually demanded as it's how the "true" engineering-interested people are separated from other workers. An AS is easy for most tradesmen to get using night classes, whereas a BA requires a minimum 3 summers off work. And this is before the actual sponsored work that leads to final CE accreditation (eg, the ability to sign official blueprints and serve in an official civil engineering capacity).
>>12660373I know many that stayed in construction and in actual trade labor work, because it's easier to be paid $400k/yr having everyone suck your cock then being paid $500k/yr working inside middle management. Classic case of being in a big fish in a small pool or a small fish in an ocean. Also, management isn't Unionized and has to take contract jobs that don't allow for extended downtime and don't allow workers to choose their jobs.
