Thoughts on this?

[ChrisGav]

I've recently been thinking about getting into the construction industry and getting into general contracting.

The reason this crosses my mind, no one wants to work hard anymore! My parents were trying to remodel their home recently and were telling me how every contractor they called is booked out for at least 2 months. I spoke with my neighbor the other day who is a real estate investor, and he was telling me how he no longer invests in residential properties because good contractors are so difficult to find.

I'm seeing a huge need for this everywhere. However, I'm not mechanically inclined in the slightest.... I'm sure I could learn it though?

What do you think about an industry like this? Would entail dealing with a lot of employees which could be a headache.
Is it scalable, realistically?
Most competition would suck, evidently. Most people struggle with contractors who either rip them off/untrustworthy, or simply have poor communication skills.
