But forgive me for being thick, but I still can't see how being chartered could possibly help. Given that the industry I've come from has chartered architects, surveyors, electricians and anyone else you could dream of, yet still have a knackered body, no pension, and possibly more importantly shite buildings... I'll reiterate: having a bunch of people who don't know shit from shoeshine telling the world (at a price) that you fit into their narrow, corrupt and/or deluded view of 'their' industry means naff-all if you actually give a monkies about the job. It is a situation for which the terms 'ivory towers' or 'easy money' were made for, depending on your point of view.just curious, but why are you basing your opinion on the premise that those ‘that tell the world’ don’t know shit from shoeshine and they are corrupt and/or deluded? I was under the impression that this was your first job in this industry – no? and who do you think actually gives a monkies about the job if not your current employer?
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
