what should i study to succeed in corporate construction (aside from engineering)

Career Advice

I currently do marketing for a steel recycling/rebar manufacturing company. Ive had the idea of going back to school for a while, but im a bit nervous to quit my job given the whole “AI is going to steal your job” thing, especially given that I do marketing.

I know that the construction industry overall has a shortage of skilled workers, and its given me a bit of reassurance that if I quit my job, study, and then try and find a job after that I’ll have a bit of a leg up at least in the construction world because of my experience.

That said, what should I study that would give me even more of an edge? Ive never considered myself to be much of an engineer… I was thinking initially about an MBA since its general and applicable but I want to make sure I explore all options first.
