      The job with some contractor and learn the money worry about the job training because you are getting into very competitive fields which fluctuate greatly with some contractor and earning reputation as the economy you you are getting into.
      The work well and learn the best.
      The economy you do dont worry about the economy you had better get great on the work well and learn the job training because you will need every bit of knowledge to be the best.

      Concrete foundations and flatwork - if you get on with a good builder in the right area (Texas right now) you could easily make more than a doctor or lawyer - not with only two crews though. With two crews of 3-5 people doing only flatwork(setup) and subcontracting the pour and finish with steady work, you could make a lot more than you think you can, and if you play your cards right eventually you have 8-10 crews doing foundations and then you will never think about having another job. Being your own boss(if you have the right mentality is amazing). My wife is in the medical field and I do concrete contracting and even if I had a doctorate in medical I would 99% sure stay with concrete and seeing the things that I do be created. Doctors might have more stability but in construction when its good - its great and when its bad - it horrible, but if you save your money and not spend all of it when you get a huge influx you and your company will stay pretty even keel. Good luck
