What Mags Do You Read?
Filed under: General Technical Skills — Tags: — nedpelger

When I was a young whippersnapper in this wonderful construction business, I tended to peruse many free construction magazines. I believe it helped me to learn the language of Pre-Engineered Building Contractors

HVAC Contractors

and Residential Builders.

I’d page through the magazines, see the new products and occasionally read the articles about the challenges and rewards of that trade. I learned more about the various trades and made better decisions about what I wanted to do for my work.

As I’ve matured (a nice word for gotten old), I seem to have less free time and more money. So now I read ENR for current construction news and The Economist to help inform my world view. Of course, I also read some triathlon related mags to fuel my hobby.

So what magazines do you read? And why?
