I actually started my constrution learning experience when I was enrolled in a Vo-Tech school at the age of 15. I took a course called building trades in Grove City Pa outside of Pittsburgh. I learned more than I ever expected and they taught us about plumming, electrical, masonry, roofing, welding, framing, siding, installing windows and doors, and the list just keeps comming. That experience started me on a path of education that pole-vaulted me into many other areas of maintenance. I ended up joining the US Navy and becoming a diesel mechanic working on and eventually supervising multi million dollar power plants, but I still carry the skills and work in the constructinon field when I can. While in the Navy I also got certified as an AC&R tech, Boiler tech, gas turbine tech, and gas poduction plant supervisor (O2 & N2 PRODUCTION). I still have great memories of the vo-tech course that started it all for me. If you want to be successful just remember that knowledge is power. The more you can learn the more valuable you become, the more money you can make. Good luck with that.
