Question

managerial work in architecture and construction
just like in other jobs, construction also has managerial positions, which require experience in the field. in construction, the manager faces different responsibilities, but typically no longer works on the project. they usually focus on finances, office work, hiring and firing, scheduling, ordering equipment and materials, and more.
in order for an individual to move up the ladder to a managerial position, they must first start on a crew. as individuals progress to a managerial role, the company they work for may ask that they get a two - year associate’s degree in managerial administration. if the individual wants to be an architect, they must start as an architect assistant. architects plan out blueprints for a project and typically need a four - year bachelor’s degree.
math, design, drafting, or shop classes are all helpful for those planning to have a career in construction. high school students who go through a vocational program may make themselves more desirable to potential employers.
choose the correct answer.
what kind of degree does a construction manager likely need to have?
a 4 - year bachelor’s degree
ged or a high school diploma
a 2 - year associate’s degree

Explanation:

From the passage, it's stated that for a construction manager (when moving to a managerial role), the company may ask for a two - year Associate’s degree in managerial administration. Also, architects (related to construction) need a four - year bachelor's degree, but for a construction manager, the text points to a 2 - year Associate’s degree as a requirement for the managerial path. The option of GED or high school diploma is for making oneself more desirable as a high school student, not the main degree for a construction manager. And the 4 - year Bachelor's degree is for architects, not construction managers as per the text.

Answer:

C. a 2 - year Associate’s degree (assuming the options are labeled as A. 4 - year Bachelor’s degree, B. GED or a high school diploma, C. a 2 - year Associate’s degree)
