    I met a Quantity Surveyor at a careers evening in my school, most boring person possibly ever, barely managed to communicate what a quantity surveyor is to me. I'd choose accounting, because it sounds marginally less tedious than Quantity Surveying.

    To be honest, both sound equally boring and extremely tedious; I'd choose neither.

    Yeah both sound pretty boring, in my opinion.

    So uh... pick whichever one YOU'D like? If you want to be told what to do, then do Theoretical Physics. You know, because I personally love maths and physics, and therefore you automatically do too...?

    I'd go accounting because of the ad on the telly.

    Its on TV. They say its good, ergo, it is good.

    Also, I water my plants with motor oil.

    Lolz my sister works in an accounting office below a quantity surveyors office. Most boring building ever!

    Op, I'm assuming you are into maths? Surely you can cast your net a bit wider than those two professions, or do a generic maths degree or something else before committing to a profession?

    Judging from all those ads around lately there's a need for chartered public accountants so I'd go for that over quantity surveying.


    That said I'd hae either!

    Accountancy.

    You can't get rich by embezzling clients if you're a Quantity surveyor! :P (or can you....?)

    Don't choose QSing, you won't get a job when you leave, anywhere in the world. I am a QS, and am very lucky to be working at the minute.

    Having said that, it is only because of the way things are in construction and property at the minute. I'm working in disputes which is just about the only place theres more work coming online. If this had have been 5 years ago I'd be telling to choose QS, it'd have been a no brainer.
