Exit / escape plan (serious)

NEW UPDATE: Someone really bored did some investigating on this post and other of my posts/comments and concluded that I work for the same GC as them. They didn’t comment on here but brought it up the chain. Needless to say I’m taking a break sooner than I thought 😬. Thank you all for the insight and I’ll be taking a few weeks to focus on my family then hitting indeed looking for something OUTSIDE of construction management.

UPDATE: (yes at the top) Thank you all for the suggestions and insight. Lots of valuable opinions and views here. I’m sorry if I haven’t commented or replied to all of you, because… you know… working on redoing the schedule again… but your feedback is very much appreciated.

POST: Pretty straight forward, looking to get out.

Back story: started electrical at age 18, turned out as a journeyman then economy collapsed. Did some framing, drywall, handyman stuff. Started an owner operator company doing renovations on foreclosed homes and made a killing. Injured and unable to continue. Worked construction office and facilities maintenance coordination for a while until given an opportunity in construction management. Moved up fast, learned a lot. Did custom homes, high end track homes, multi family, commercial…

The trades are garbage, and getting worse and worse. I set schedules and 3 week look ahead, text, email, call… trades no show or don’t finish. Don’t clean up. We lose days and have to redo the schedule DAILY because trades don’t tell us 3 weeks in advance they need more time or don’t have the manpower etc.

Same old song and dance you’ve all had to go through.

My small house is paid off, just sold another (crappy) inheritance house. Married with 3 kids, and not looking to transition for the money, just want to get out before I die of a heart attack.

5-7 days a week, 10-14 hours a day. Salary doesn’t pay overtime. Yea I make $6fig plus, good benefits, company truck and gas, travel bonus… I’m just tired.

I want to get out of construction, thinking inspections for city/county maybe (I can take the tests and pass within maybe a year of studying). Or something else. I can settle with less pay, looking for something, anything that will get me out of this stress level. Any suggestions?

I’m 40, good with tech, don’t have $100000000 to start a business, want less stress and crazy responsibilities and will happily accept $70k or $30 an hour with benefits and overtime.

Suggestions please, relatable stories are cool but please start with a serious career change suggestion please (hence the “serious” in title) and thank you.
