just read a post on here, let me not throw any shade, but alot of people seemed like they regretted picking this as a career? and i was wondering if people here generally enjoy or tolerate their work as a quantity surveyor.

to end, i’m myself interested in QSing, hoping to pursue it post A levels, mainly for the money and opportunity i’ve heard. however, i’ve wondered for a while, where is the drive in this job? it feels like, from some things i’ve heard too, QSing is somewhat of a ‘filler’ job. i don’t feel like i’d be exactly taking the utmost pride in my work, like if i were saving lives, but i’m most curious about how people who work as a QS feel about this?
