You say that like it's a bad thing.
Stuff like religon is just more controversal so it becomes more popular to talk about.
Anybody got any good stock advice? ;D

I don't really believe in all those "1 minute ..." and "Become in 10 steps a...."-books.. I mean, at the end of the day it all depends on what and how much work you do, some things you just can't change. Though some books might have some interesting tips..

I have a diploma in Small Craft & Yacht Surveying so my "title" is Duncan Rutherford DipMarSur ;D hehe (i did it with the International Institute of Marine Surveyors - http://www.iims.org.uk/
yea its great money, average survey cost is £400 for a 30" GRP yacht (full pre-purchase survey takes around 6 hours)
Marine surveying is more specialist than Land Surveying or Building/Structural so we can charge more! ;)
Yea in aussie it is LAW to have a marine survey carried out for insurance and pre-purchase...here it aint!! :/ so the government in AU actually offer to subsidise you to move over there to trade if you qualified so you never know i just might one day!!! ;)

That sounds like a cool job. Do you inspect the engines too? I worked for my dad a few years ago, we fit a lot of yachts with struts and props (we built them aswell). But after 9/11 the yacht building industry almost died here. I started manufacturing dock boxes this year. ( www.nodamanufacturing.com/dockbox.htm ) I've been setting up with distrobution companies, I'm tryin to get them into yacht clubs etc.

i remember you posting about them! good idea, hope they take off ;D
yea i have expertise as part of my training in valuations, steel and engine surveys :)
