Finished most of my major & minor at Bible College this past May... I'll be taking the last 3 or 4 Gen Ed classes in the Spring, and possibly some entry level medical classes just for the fun of it. In the meantime, I provide customer service for a bank that supports over for 450 colleges & universities across the US, which equals out to about 2.6 million student & faculty account holders. It's a fun job which I actually really enjoy! :)

Its in my blood surveying is. Great grandfather, grandfather,father, and myself.

As long as you love it.....surveying will expose you to more MD sites than any other occupation. Another plus, you will have the ability to do research beyond others, just knowing how to work the courthouse systems. Start reading old journals, find out whose farm had the grove picnics, and off you go to the courthouse. Surveying at times will seem like a curse in a way, it is not easy, that is why few people do it. You need doged determination, solid, I mean solid work ethic, and willingness to always learn. When I am reading a deed and see calls for stones at corners, I get determined to find them. Anyone can find a pin, pipe, or railroad spike, the ones who are determined find the original calls.

Surveying Pa since early 90's

Land Surveyor here too............ finding an old stone, bearing tree, or rotted oak post is like treasure every day! Friday in the deep swamp, alone, had to cut a tree down to cross a creek to find a corner. Two hours to get there and find it, 5 seconds to hit the GPS button and get the number.

I like to navigate on big water also.
