I'd be thinking he's got a degree, could go out and earn some decent money just now but is coming here to earn minimum wage for 4 years, something a bit fishy.
disagree there mate, at the end of the day people make wrong decisions. Just tell them you want to do something more "hands on" than QS, not a problem just shows you've got a brain in the first place
also shows you are committed because your prepared to earn shit money for 4 years in order to get what you want

I know how much plumbers earn, my cousin is one, not disputing that, gus has a QS degree right now though and could go and start on a higher wage and get paid at least the same, instead of pennies for 4 years.
