Are you hoping to become a project manager at some point? If you want books that explain more about construction project management there are plenty. I recommend this book: http://www.amazon.ca/Construction-Management-JumpStart-Toward-Career/dp/0470609990/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1369525360&sr=1-1&keywords=construction+management
It's a really easy read and doesn't get boring and if you are working with a construction management company it will be VERY applicable. You might even surprise a few people at work.
You may feel dumb walking around with it, but it helps with the foundations and verbiage you’ll see everyday, Construction Management JumpStart 2nd Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470609990/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-jPPDbW33AFFR
A couple resources I am already aware of: constructionknowledge.net
This book: http://www.amazon.com/Construction-Management-JumpStart-Toward-Career/dp/0470609990/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2DX3TEPKWKM&coliid=I22448IN2GEL8P... I haven't read it but I saw someone suggest it before.
Awesome!! I'd say going to school for it is a great start!
I'd make sure to get involved with any construction specific student orgs. Alot of them are affiliated with professional orgs like the AGC, ABC and NAHB. On top of that, any more experience or internships you can get will do you well!
Here's a $15 textbook from Amazon. It's a great read, not your typical dry learning. Construction Management JumpStart: The Best First Step Toward a Career in Construction Management https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470609990/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tU5MAb2GW7Z3F
Also try to kinda get an idea of what sector you'd want to lean towards. Some schools make you specialize in home building, commercial, or heavy civil.
