- This summer I worked at S K and D construction. I started the job right after high school. There as a group we were responsible for setting up forms for footings as well as walls. We poured some of the walls and some of the footings that we did. When some of us weren't the ones pouring we were helping by making sure the rebar was straight in the wall or would help level it off. I left this job to leave for college in Sioux Falls SD at Southeast Technical Institute.
