I don't think this is the answer to the issues facsed by the industry - it's like putting a tiny plaster on a huge gash! I think RICS needs to be looking at the real cause of the problem - eg the lack of awareness of the industry and the careers on offer. Like I said in an earlier post, when I was at school (a grammar in the south east) the only careers pushed down our throats by the advisers where law, I.T and business type jobs - property and construction never came up. As everyone has said cheaper labour wanting to come over here will force salaries down - which will not enhance it as a career of choice. This will push salaries down and even less people will train to be a QS - then in a few years time, we'll be back to square one. I'm starting to doubt the RICS and their ideas in a big way....
