Career Change to QS or Building Surveying from Teaching
I am a 44-year-old British guy who has been working overseas as a humanities teacher for the last 15 years. Looking to return to the UK, but not a chance I will go back to teaching there. I have been looking at possible career changes, and Building Surveyor or QS is one that appeals to me for several reasons:
In demand
Involves a high degree of independence and multi-tasking
Reasonable salary
I am aware that there are courses onto which I can enroll and potentially gain employment within a year, but have a concern regarding my employability as someone with exactly zero experience in the construction industry.
My question, in short, is how realistic do you think a career change is to QS for someone in my position?
Thanks in advance for any help with this
