Hi i am an Asst/Junior QS.
It is a good job, there is some serious money to be made in it, if you know how to manipulate people the right way

. Im off to Uni this September to do a degree in it, which the company is paying for me to do (Full time too

) .
If you enjoy juggling money about and generally fucking people about all the time then it is a great job but there are some seriously boring parts to it aswell - spending 3 weeks trawling through drawing after drawing is no fun!! It's also a good job if you enjoy people phoning you up every 5 minutes complaining, and the majority of the people in your company hating you

.
Regarding the degree courses, experience will account for a bit but will not get you on a RICS approved course, only 240 UCAS points will get you there (Which is fucking useless, as this rule applies no matter how old you are).
