>>1583032Literally still the main equipment lmao. Out west I believe since there are practically no tree's like AZ they use GPS for everything since they get pretty gud reception but in the East US? You still cant be under a tree near a road and get good enough reception to set up a starting traverse point. Though I am not sure if you even used Robotic total stations. Though its unlikely you even pulled chain.
>>1582996Not sure where you get migrant workers to work as surveyors? Its mostly rednecks that work in the field and you still got to know what the fuck you're doing. Because it will be pretty obvious if you dont. Especially when the concrete foundation is not where its supposed to be or the curb was laid out wrong or the Licensed surveyor see's you fucked up the boundary and cant sign it.
I would say depending on the jobs you get it can be a /out/ job and you can enjoy it but its mainly bushwhacking literally, since all you do is cut line though a forest. So if you're a tree hugger you wont like it since you cut a bunch of shit down and some days it fucking sucks ass.
You're best bet for /out/ job in surveying is working for BLM or fed government since they got to go out like in Alaska and still map that shit. We still got millions of acres to do and they are barley past the half way mark of mapping it and it took them like 40 years to get that far.
