In the Architecture and Construction career cluster, there are jobs available for many different education levels. Explain why this is the case and give three different examples of careers requiring different levels of education.

Some jobs in the Construction pathway (such as framer) involve working outside on the building project itself, while others (like project manager) involve scheduling and planning in an office setting. Why could we say that these two jobs are part of the same career cluster?
