Running down a dead end road.
Construction Estimator:
Learn everything you can, about every facet of your job. When you run out of things to learn, learn about how your Product affects the down-stream processes in your organization.
Dont be afraid of asking what you think might be an "obvious" question. Critical details get missed when you assume everyone is as smart as you.
Dont be afraid of asking for or demanding the credit you deserve. I was raised 'old school' and thought a job well done was its own reward. It was a wake-up call to realize that others were taking advantage of my hard work leaving me behind to do more work.
