Does working in residental construction make a guy more "handy", like a handyman?

Question

I am going to be a residental construction worker because i have always been fascinated with the building process of homes, and i am a hardworker who likes to be on his feet. i am not really handy, i dont know how to fix EVERYTHING, when something goes wrong in the house. Will being a residental construction worker,(building houses), help me become a handyman?

Answer 1

This is where handymen become handy..from learning from being on construction sites..

Answer 2

This type of trade won`t necessarily help you become "handy", although it may depend on the contractor you`ll be working for.

Residential building contractors will sub many of the aspects of the construction I.E. concrete,plumbing, electrical, a.c etc. So you may only obtain tips and general knowledge from other trades. You`ll probably find it a little quicker to possibly take a few courses at a vocational school.
