Next steps after a quantity surveying degree

- As I've come to the end of my time at university, I thought I would talk about the different options after finishing with a quantity surveying degree. The main, and most obvious, option is to work as a quantity surveyor (QS) but there are various other jobs within the construction industry and other sectors that your degree could lead to.

Thanks, Jessa! 🤗
Congratulations on your Uni stuff. Your research is always thorough and helpful, you've presented lots of options for those interested to choose from. Thanks!!
Thank you!
Thanks for help building my mind, one never gets to old to learn
Thanks Tim! Hope you're doing well
@@BldgOnMyMind I am, thank ,it's wonderful hearing from you, thanks 👍🙏
Well explained. Sadly ive finalised my college application and a lot in construction and one being QS. Sadly my downfall is that ive never worked in construction. And im 40 next month😭 and never set foot inside a college. But the upside ill be getting a huge grant. There is a huge construction worker shortage in the country, and im afraid cos it maybe cos the industry is a toxic environment. Also in the papers they say no young person doesnt want to get up at 7am to work in the trade. I can tell you a female friend in Nigeria is called a Builder, where its everything youve described plus everything else. Basically your automatically fit to contract once youve left college but need an a charteted exam. But she wouldnt even get half of what i get in government support or even what youve earned which is shocking. She is now using her skills in a role called Building Logistics Officer and shes only 26. I cant even imagine being in a role as big as that at such a young age. Keep them vids coming and good luck.
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm fortunate in the UK there's a lot of support for apprenticeships
@@BldgOnMyMind there certainly is. Since then shes quit the industry altogether working for her brothers online bank he created and at that, all remote. So goes to show.
Thanks for this great video, I have a question! How about preparing research in the same field and finding solutions to the problems facing construction in different regions of the world. Especially as you are a new graduate and have knowledge of the latest technologies and best practices
Definitely something I'd be interested in exploring further!
I’m currently in first year for qs and I find it quite hard.
If you need any support please feel free to reach out on my social media or leave any comments and questions and I'll do my best to help!
@@BldgOnMyMind thank you. Would you be able to do a tutorial on how to do a takeoff?
So what line of work are you doing now?
I'm still a quantity surveyor - I did an apprenticeship route and worked alongside my degree
