This summer I will complete a post-grad course in Quantity Surveying, a career I've been in for six years now. Unfortunately the construction industry (I work for a main contractor) really isn't for me - far too many arguments, dirty working environments, and an industry set twenty years in the past all frustrate me more than I can express.
Wanting a change, I'm tempted to study a course in M&E (mechanical and electrical services for those of you not in construction) or construction law, both of which would move me into more of a consultative role and away from the 50+ hours spent on site I currently put up with (plus 15+ hours in the car each week).
What do people think of these career paths - are there jobs out there in law and building services? Long term job potential, salary expectations, benefits are also obviously important.
I'm not really after a specific answer (hell, I barely have a question) so your thoughts would be gratefully received.
