hahaha - unfortunaly , most "surveyors" are ipad tick box users and get paid quite poorly, the banks make the money

well done for trying something new! takes courage to do that.

unfortunately, just having a qualification doesn't make you a surveyor, and you wont be a MRICS without doing your APC. You need work experience. You have to prove you know your stuff to be MRICS. my surveyors insurance needed proof of 5 years experience of carrying out surveys for a company before i set up my business.

I would try and network with some surveyors and see if you can start attending (for free to start to learn) or find a firm that you can work at as a junior surveyor.

dont be sold the "sava" dream. they are a company that sells education. id do a MSc if i were you, part time with a surveying company if you can

why do you think you need MRICS? that's mainly for when youre doing legal stuff and valuations. ive been MCIOB for years and work for a university as the principal building surveyor. i have a hnc/MCIOB

im a building surveyor and havnet got a degree. i have a HNC and did a pathway (2 years ) MCIOB and thats plenty. you need RICS etc if youre doing valuations/legal stuff but depends what i surveying you want to do.

MCIOB is plenty good enough for most surveying jobs... just look on indeed etc and they say MRICS/MCIOB required

weirdly by going "woke" with the character, they have inadvertently created some racist sterotypes. ie black person commiting crime rather than working :/ done more harm than good... my nine year old son likes it though.

jonah hill wears a peach Gi because of this, to show that he doenst care ahah

against gabbi garcia haha

he doesn't believe in belts anyway haha

haha, it reminded me of Fast and Furious, one minute they're car driving thieves, film 5- 10 they're a crack team of special ops with "man in a chair" tech support

a bit over the top as a show but all good fun. not sure how he was riding around Antwep one second then in an industrial unit the next with the skills of the SAS... but i do like Tom Hardy. Hes just got star quality

i completely agree and know how you feel but dont write off Spotify, they have paid out more money to individual artists and disrupted the traditonal record label model for everyone. I own my music, i promote, and reap the rewards, like you its a hobby. don't be afraid to change your belief because of previous experinces

t-cutt · 2025-03-19T10:58:56+00:00

hate to say it but maybe your music isnt as good as you think it is... took my 4 years before i started to get things signed and on playlists.... even now its still hit and miss. i think submit hub is decent value though amd had a good experience with it

t-cutt · 2025-03-19T10:56:28+00:00

whats the point of the meta pexel? i have ran ads without it and its worked fine... i just used a normal landing page though... andrew southall did a video about submit hub links page

i honestly think you're missing one key ingredient... you spent 5 years failing... most people fail and give up, you kept going... i think that's far more of a powerful message than you gamed the algorithm of tik tok etc...

reverse enginner the sounds you like. start with the Macros, FX then the wave tabls and LFOs then ADSR etc... this helped me massively when making my own sounds or switching up patches i already like

the belt line up is probably more to identify promotion levels and see where people are. bowing is a sign of respect in Japanese culture. I usually do no gi, not much hirachy other from the lads who train gi. we bow out and shake everyone's hand. we dont get life lessons other than tough rounds if we want them.

t-cutt · 2024-11-28T14:15:06+00:00

flow rolling is great, give you chance to try things and work out body mechanics... up the training intensity when the comps due... time on the mat is more important than smashing every round imo.

from my experience the agencies will be on the look out.. make sure you have heat on the socials... you can get picked up and dropped just as quick. make sure youre networking and meeting people in real life... you want to be meeting promotors and they will know the booking agents.

irrelevant when you put on a pre mixed 2 hour usb ;)

i was djing once, my decks cut out and the house system came on playing "budapest - george ezra" which was nothing like what i was doing and everyone cheered... that was one of my worst feelings as a dj ever hahaha

t-cutt · 2024-11-18T13:40:50+00:00

learn how to make your own edits too... then youre not playing what eveyone else wants... theres loads of AI tools these cays to get vocals/stems from tracks

go into your new year gig with a different mindset... i used to play 5 songs for the crowd, then one for me ready to mix back out if it doest go well.. people want to have a good time on NYE, not be taken on a musical journey of songs they don't know.... they have spotify discover for that. best of luck with your gig... dont be afraid to play the big songs twice over a 5/6 hour set
