>>1684210>Not including that you have to get an education.Most states are moving away from the 2 year and now to a 4 year degree, despite plenty of states not offering a 4-year degree in their state.
>Not including the 4 years of minimum experience outside of school to be able to pass the Fundamentals and Professional national test.You won't need the experience to pass the fundamentals since that's really math based, but the professional is really more legal stuff. Those can be taken pretty much at any time, but you have to pass the state-level test as well to become a licensed land surveyor.
Or you could ya know, depending on the state, work 10-15 years and they will let you skip the school part.
That's why I said if you aren't going for the long term, or only see it as a tempory job, its not bad.
>>1684212I kind of miss doing the other types of surveying, but I'm stuck only doing route survey. Pretty boring now, then again we hardly work.
>>1684112You will probably be doing plenty of construction staking. And if it's the entry-level position, many places just expect you to show up and you'll be good if its a party chief position they throw you in? Its gonna be rough. lol
