There is an advert in the main Glasgow paper for people to move to Califonia and all over the US as they are in dier need of construction professionals e.g. Quantity Surveyors as this is one profession not taught in US for some reason. As a QS myself who has previously been offered work in US, on a temp basis this is probably a very good route for anyone wishing entry, do a QS degree for 3-4years and there you go bobs your uncle and fannies your auntie your in!
EASY! I think not.

A QS is a person whom counts materials in a proposed project.
It is very boring.
The USA doesn't have QS's for reasons unknown to the British, however, looking at the Empire State Building, Sears Tower et al, I think you've done ok so far without them.

This was in Mondays St Pete Times, unfarking believable
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/...ts+school+hard
"To examine the buildings' walls, the district again hired Central Testing. In the media center, the company found that 88 percent of the required reinforcing steel or grout was missing. Most of the supporting beams over windows and doors lacked grout. In several places, the roof frame could be moved by hand."
"Then Central Testing released its report on the cafeteria. At least half the reinforcement was inadequate. Two of every three steel beams were bolted into hollow or nearly hollow blocks not strong enough to hold them. The roof was missing welds."
And this is a school
