Harry’s Answer
As far as you want if you are willing to work hard and be open to learning all that you can. Concrete has been around for more than 2000 years and continues to become the material of choice for construction projects. It has become a technical field but it does not require a college degree to make a good living at it. It takes commitment, hard work and a willingness to learn.

I would agree with Harry on this and I am assuming that you are speaking about working with concrete. Only you are the limiting factor in how far you can go in any career and life itself. I often tell my children, you can do anything you put your mind to. I also tell them to work smarter, not harder. The concrete industry can be a very physical type of work, but there are ways to limit the amount of energy you put into placing and finishing concrete. The important thing is that you always pay attention and learn from others. Again, work smarter, not harder. Become a sponge and soak up as much knowledge as you can in everything you do. As you search for the career that suits your abilities and needs, I would encourage you to learn as much as you can about it. Research the industry and you will find there are many uses for concrete including buildings, bridges, sidewalks, floors, etc. Just about everywhere you look you will see some form of concrete used in the building industry. When I was attending classes at my community college on Construction Management, one of the most memorable things I learned from my instructor was how to properly refer to refer concrete in the construction industry. Concrete is usually made up of cement, gravel or sand and water. It usually takes 28 days to fully cure and cures best under water. Who would have ever thought that! Kudos to him as my instructor. As we progressed through the class, each of us learned to use the term "Concrete" properly as the product we were speaking about and now use properly in the industry. Good luck with finding a career that suits you and your abilities. You can do anything you put your mind to! Don't stop at the moon, shoot for the stars.
