Question:
I have been working in the civil engineers dept of a
construction company for the last 5 years and have decided now i want
to get myself a career, im tempted to go into Health and Safety, what
is your opinion of this is there a demand or is the market flooded
with H&S people, what type of £ are H&S people earning.
My alternative is to work with a plumber and learn that trade but he
will not let me go to college but said he will purchase all relevant
books etc etc.
Decisions, Decisions, please advise
Answer:
There is a shortage of Building Control Surveyors (AFAIK it's the same
for most kinds of Building Surveyors), and I heard a report that the
Seller's Packs for house sales coming in in 2005 will mean a need for
tens of thousands of extra Valuation Surveyors.

construction or nvq 3 in health and safety
"Career: To travel wildly and out of control downhill to eventual
disaster" Also, "to be conned into thinking that by gaining expereince
in one narrow field of expertise, you will have a secure job for life,
professional status, and a pension."
