# you're doing the whole thing then eh - brave man, and I salute you
you'd be suprised, but i actually put a lot of work in.
working from home does save considerable overheads too
i like architecture, but found my niche was more in the technical/building side and client relations, although doing this
for myself, I get to do a little of everything, contract work, negotation,claim disputes, deisgn, drafting, detailing, tendering, the whole lot really, and
dont whack up a huge student debt doing it

# meh, architects - always claiming the credit...
everyone knows it's the QS's who do all the work!

# *ahem* as my old Civil Engineering tutor at Uni in Bolton, Brian, used to say
"Civil Engineers are where ya wanna be - don't be a QS - they're Civil Engineers with their brains blown out"

# yup, I agree, good work though,
if you like coffer dams, roads, bridges, sewers etc

I preferred the other route
You ever do any private QS work, on the side?
