Re: Four years at uni, for what?
As an ex-supervisor of a team of "back to work/new deal" trainees, which I know is a lot different from this situation, but it has it's similarities, I have to say that he needs to look at what "transferable skills" he has, i.e. those which he has learned while doing his degree that aren't specific to quantity surveying and could be useful in another occupational area.

If he hasn't already, he needs to gain some experience of the real working world, I see far too many fresh University graduates that have got no idea at all how to function in the real world of work.
