Masters in CM without bachelors??

Yes that is true, I worked in construction as an electrician and my foreman didn't know the difference between BX wire and Romex. However he knew how to keep account of all the expenses down to the last nail. Generally speaking it helps when your boss knows your job, but it isn't a requirement. Teaching the new guy a few things because he is new may make you look like a good boss, but it is not going to impress the bosses above you. Completing the project on time, saving money and saving on materials (legally) will.

Also a Business degree will give you more girth and room to grow.

That's what I figured. Most if not all the people I know in construction don't have a CM degree. If they do have a degree it's usually in business or management. I have a degree in Economics and know project management, can work Excel, Office Project, and such.
