Want to switch careers to something construction related... advice?

So I'm in the real infancy of my research, but just looking for any advice you all are willing to share!

I graduated college three years ago with a marketing degree. Long story short, I have no interest in anything marketing related and realize I messed up in my choice of major. I wake up everyday dreading going to work and can't stand sitting at my desk all day. I've got a bit of a back issue currently that may prevent me from physically stressful jobs (but I'm hoping to have that fixed within a few months).

Really looking for any advice on how someone could make that kind of switch without having a technical degree. There's a local community college that offers a construction and carpentry program, or I'm willing to take online classes to earn a degree in something like construction management (if that would be worth it). I just can't take this damn marketing job anymore haha

Thanks for the help!

PHOTOS: The Equipment and Crowds of Bauma 2019 (Part 2)

More than any other trade show on the planet, Bauma, hosted every three years in Munich, Germany, is a walking show. After spending nearly a whole week at this year’s show, I checked my Apple Watch activity stats and found that I averaged nearly 10 miles of walking each day at the show thanks to countless trips up and down the “expressway” that cuts through the Munich convention center’s 18-building layout and in and out of the gargantuan outdoor exhibition area. According to show managers, a record 620,000+ people from more than 200 countries visited this year’s show. Apart from the crowds this was the largest Bauma yet in sheer size with more than 3,700 exhibitors spread across 2.1 million square feet of indoor exhibit space and an additional 4.5 million square feet of outdoor space. Only slightly behind the number of steps my watch logged during the show are the number of images I grabbed with my camera with the goal of giving our readers a feeling of what being at this show is li

Deere dealer West Side Tractor plans $14M HQ in Illinois

A rendering of the future West Side Tractor headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. West Side Tractor is planning a $14 million headquarters in the same town where the family-owned company was founded in 1962. The John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer has outgrown its 3.5-acre site in Naperville, Illinois, and is renovating two former auto dealerships on 11 acres in Lisle, where the Benck family started its business. The new site will allow the company to double its building space to 75,000 square feet over the current headquarters, once renovations are completed. Located at 3300 Ogden Avenue near Interstates 88 and 355, about 5 miles from the current site, it will not only consist of the corporate headquarters but will offer equipment sales and rentals, parts and service. It will also help bring new life and investment to a site that had closed due to the 2008 recession, the company says. “We’re proud of our roots and are thrilled to be able to reinvigorate this part
