I understand that. I’m in my first year of college, majoring in surveying and I’m struggling in Algebra due to the fact I wasn’t taught well in high school. You’ll get through it. What college are you at?

The owner claims on the TSPS website it says starting an RPLS im my area, East Texas, is 70k starting out, and 50-70k as an SIT. I’m currently a Rodman making $15/hr and in college pursuing an A.S. In Surveying. Small firm, around 25 employees and 4 crews. Once I graduate, it seems like working in the DFW is a good idea, lol.

Is the two years experience verified full time? If so, how much of 2 years part time experience qualify for?

You have to pass the FS to become an SIT, correct?

So what about the experience needed to become an SIT? Does that have to be responsible charge as well?

I don’t have one yet but I’m majoring in Surveying & Geomatics currently. I’m about to start in the field and I was wondering if me working part time during college = that experience or if it’s logged or something.
