"I love being able to be an integral part of the construction process. I find that I am able to be extremely helpful at the front-end of a project, and estimating is the best opportunity to add value to an organization. I find it fun to estimate many projects and to see the project through to completion. I do not enjoy the volatility of the market and changing companies."
"Being an estimator allowed me to apply real world mathematics and minimal puzzle solving, which I feel to be fairly important. Unfortunately though, Estimators and Engineers have a reputation for being 'less than lively'. The downside to my specific case was politics. I experienced a fair amount of bureaucracy and politicking in my daily endeavors."
"I enjoy plumbing, I would never change my history and will do it again. The problem about the work is one must stay in shape at all times because the work is highly demanding. Physical work is good for man but I wished I would have taken better care of myself.."
