a job interview......NOOOooooo

OK I admit it...I did the Ethel the Aardvark thing! The first time I quit building I retrained as a QS - started off doing the NZCB but veered into Q S'ing. I yr at Taranki Polytech, 1 yr doing stuff through the open Polytech - correspondence and finished with a year at Unitech, with a NZDip.QS. Its OK if you are in a good firm -takes a couple of years to really get the hang of it - I ended up as a Civil & Drainage QS, which was fun, but couldnt stand the office thing and went back building!
Now Ive quit building again.............
not now it aint..
You can do the NZ Diploma of Q S ( replaces the NZCQS), the open Polytech do lots of the papers, or a Bachelor of Construction ( Q S) - 3 yrs full time at Unitech or Wellington.

hey thanks!!

looks like this year i will just be working and getting settled, will look at my options towards the end of this year.....

You could link cookery and quantity surveying together for a job and get deliciously pissed doing it....

now this is the type of advice i can really get into!
