You are first one and last one on job site. Get to play God and tell people where to build shit. Not much physical labor, more mental. Surveying has a great tradition and has been a career for 2000 years.
Surveying will become easier and easier with technology and those who learn the technology will be running it and working easy.
If your a smart guy, get your Professional Land Surveyor stamp and you will make over 100k easy sitting in office stamping the maps. The average PLS holder is 55 and NOBODY goes into surveying. It's still a male dominated industry which wont change. Experience matters more than education.
You seem dim, why would anyone volunteer to take orders from you?
Dominic Cooper
Okay dont.
Camden Adams
You wouldnt make it anyway. Stick to your courtesy clerk position
Jaxson Ramirez
Obviously it varies by state but don't you have to be an engineer to make it? I work along side them daily on residential stuff. They all seem younger
Matthew Thomas
easily replaceable by drones.
Easton Jones
>volunteer Confirmed for never having worked construction
Aaron Scott
I work with GIS which is better than surveying
Aaron Jones
To be a party cheif you dont have to be an engineer. You have to stay current on technology and know how to use it, also be able to survey the land and convert it into CIViL 3d or some CAD program before you hand it off. To get your stamp, its damn near the same degree as engineering. It has less "respect" than being an engineer. Some states only require experience.
Logan Rogers
I run a trimble data logger, although most is remote from as-builts, mainly municipal infrastructure
Hurr dur someone has to fly the drone and draft the mapping data. Have to stay current.
Grayson Cook
I like my job. I get to take money from people , get government benefits, and I get to use a pseudonym at work.
Dylan Stewart
yep, someone name Kenneth who just finished art school.
a job for retards, maybe muslim can take your place.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Any links where I can find more info?
Tyler Smith
You stay in an office, I hike mountains. Case closed. I'm more precise than your preplanning data.
Christian Gutierrez
You are very ignorant
Levi Bell
I use your data in a business setting and make more money probably. I can go hiking on the weekends.
Nathan Brown
cartography nerd fight!
William Turner
Look up "surveyor instrument operator" jobs in your city and find an entry level position like above. It may require experience but call the boss man (usually you can find the proffesional land surveyor on company website, number and email) and explain you want to learn. Hell send him an email if your too big a pussy to call him.
For your stamp, look up Proffesional Land surveyor requirements for your state. Itll be a govt website
Benjamin Ross
I get paid to hike and be in a new environment damn near daily. It's not even close my man.
Henry Carter
Dont get me wrong, I'm young and only want to be a field guy for another decade. When I'm 40ish then I'll want th buisness setting
Austin Johnson
What do you think a vocation is in a capitalist system? Did mommy kick you in the head as a child and now you're forced to work construction?
It's cute how you have to respond twice to show how truly irritated you are by my comment. It's not worth my time re-reading your original post to nit-pick the factual errors and grammatical errors that should have been resolved by grade 8 in your education career. It's enough to know that you consider being a literal government stamper/pencil pusher is meaningful work. You are a petty overseer and your thin attempt at getting more dimwits to join your taskforce is laughable. Next time, try a board related to the topic and don't make your thinly veiled attempt at recruitment in a political board with no real reasoning other than >you too could be a paper tyrant! Do the world a favor and rid it of yourself.
Dude your tripping. I dont work for the state or a union. I'm not insecure enough to correct others grammar to make myself feel more intelligent.
It's called finding a career path that is lucrative and has high demand with a retiring talent pool. Causes high paying jobs out of gate for young guys and an eagerness by private companies to hire/train/invest in the employee. Look up the numbers for Profesional land surveyors. It's not a field gig but pays damn well.
Tyler Perry
Surveyor here. OP is correct in that the surveying job market is small. Entry level is a rodman, where you hold a rod level and plumb to mark/locate given points. New equiptment is robotic making the instrument man obsolete. Getting a license requires a 4 year degree with feild time acrued post graduation as well as a written test.
Carter Mitchell
Because i became a firefighter instead and now i enjoy my retirement..
Tyler Jenkins
worthless antihuman profession >tell people where to build shit in normal world people build shit on their own without asking some redundant faggot for permission to build shit on their own land fuck you for supporting this garbage system that requires 3rd party to confirm your rights to your own stuff
Alexander Ramirez
Deflect more from the fact that the reason you're being shit on is you're flooding the board with off-topic recruitment memes for your particular dying profession. A thread died for this. Congrats, you're "blue collar". Super redbilled and pased! What, do you want a fucking medal?
>Surveying will become easier and easier with technology and those who learn the technology will be running it and working easy. Sounds like it's on the cusp of automation which wont work out for anyone.
you can't imagine the ignorant looks one gets in GIS, most people cannot into gis
Nolan Ross
Yup. Let the dumbfuck concrete pourers just read some engineering plans, look at an open field and guess where shit goes. >hmm I think I'm close.
Justin Sanders
george washington was a surveyor
Ryder Peterson
I am now, hence why I'm trying to get the PLS which is on par with being an engineer
Austin Moore
Or you could learn to code.
Gabriel Reed
nah they don't make 100k and its 8 years of education. Technician and party chief job are relatively shit pay for a field where the majority of positions keep you away from home for weeks at a time.
its not terrible work but the sweet jobs are few and the rest are never home.
Owen Brown
Doesn't Destiny's Child have a song about this?
Dylan Johnson
Literally pajeet-tier
Levi Peterson
>planning shit disgusting I bet you are one of those pencil monkeys who draw fantasy plans on somebody elses land
Ryder Brooks
I was a licensed surveyor for many moons... the second oldest profession
Surveying is literally based in ancient pagan rituals. Until Abraham religions die, surveying will always be a needed relic of the past.. surveying’s dead pagan carcass has been picked clean of all the money making. Between lawyers, government, larpers, insurance... surveying is shackled in a dungeon
