This is the worst thing about waiting for someone. You have to look good all the time because they could turn up at any minute and see you before you've seen them

I automate some tasks and delegate many others. Doing research, job organization, data processing, field surveys, and plan preparation can be tedious, detailed work.

I was attracted to the direct connection with history that land surveyors experience in the form of plans, field notes, and from surveying monuments from decades or even centuries in the past.

A lot of people don't think much about what land surveyors do. In a nutshell, we are the interpreters and providers of landmarks and records that directly impact real property.

If you're looking for an adventure, an intellectual challenge, and a close-knit community of professionals, consider land surveying! It's not for everyone, and I'd recommend working as a surveyor's assistant or office staff before committing to the necessary schooling.

Land surveying has been a positive influence on my life, and I'd encourage anyone who hasn't considered it to give it a chance!

I've met very few professional land surveyors who regret their career path, and even fewer, who are out of work, even during economic slowdowns.
