I did the Nat Cert & have just finished my 1st year on the HNC :)
College is wank, but once u have got the Nat Cert u should be looking around £15-20k :thumbs:
Have a nosey around on a couple of construction recruitment websites, it gives u an idea of what jobs are out there & also what cash :)
As a qualified QS in house building in my area I would be looking at £30k+ :D

btec national certificate!

Why dont u stick with it for a while, get started at college & then maybe have a look for another job :boggle:
Wot course do they want u to do at college :boggle:

they wanna send me to college but thas just another blag i reckon! all talk!

There is plenty of money in surveying mate! Just depends on who you work for & what industry?!?
Ive been working as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor for about 3 1/2 years now & Im on quite good money now :)
It was shite when I started tho :(
R u at college or owt :boggle:

yeah i get ya kolin! but the thing is i dont mind workin hard! just dont like being made a fool of!

Yes you will find that you get fucked off with the shite tasks no one else wants......being honest if I had a trainee id fuck him off with all the shite jobs aswell:lol:

If you find a good, well paying job where you dont do any shit jobs or have to work too hard........let me know please:D

yeah tel me about it i mean i once spent 1 whole week trimming paper for the surveyors on site, i mean it wasnt even goin to the client so it didnt have to look good!fcuking people!

Trade jobs seem to be the way forward these days if your young and not frightened of hard/long work and perhaps taking a gamble and starting on your own......my boss is evidence of this......multi multi millionaire, I am a surveyor and yes the tradesmen make more than me!:|

im an estate agent and i know how you feel, shite money n that but i just got a co car out of him which is good :D

main advantage is i get to play on the net all day and msn :lol:

this is highway surveys not so good so i want something that im interested in even a mechanic as long as i come out with something at the end of it like a qualification!

good money in surveying when your qualified isn't there? Plumming can be decent money if you go alone but everyones clued up and gone into work like that so you NEED to be good and build up your contacts - running your own business also has risks

bet i am not matey! mine is poor!

same here but i bet you are on more ££ than me
