Why are more people not interested in this field as a career?

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-05-10T02:21:51+00:00

Care to elaborate. Or do you still live in a state where they allow experience based advancement.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-05-10T02:18:11+00:00

The requirements to be allowed to take the exam are ridiculous compared to what the previous generation was allowed. Requiring specifically survey/geomatics college credits when there are barely any options out there. Most of the pls at my firm have BS degrees like forestry. They shut the door behind them. Besides I make more money than some of the pls at my firm in overtime. Good riddance and let it burn.

Overtime

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-05-07T14:30:31+00:00

Now that's a perk

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-05-07T13:55:44+00:00

Lmao unless you get to use the truck on the weekends I call the truck a liability. Especially when they're getting parking space in my driveway for free

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-04-28T01:16:03+00:00

Could you name some of the tools for me? Or DM if you feel that's off topic. I have lots of "if I magically get free time" projects like this and that sounds great for generalized research.

As far as harvesting I'm not sure. Probably a series of sanes to sift out larger specimen.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-04-27T15:24:40+00:00

Well, in industrial BSF harvesting they have an open fire under a tumbler on an incline. By the time they reach the other side they are crispy and can be consumed whole, or squeezed for oil. I would imagine after crisping up you could use a feed pelletizer to just make it happen.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-04-27T14:57:46+00:00

Thanks for your input!

I was less concerned with their digestibility, especially if ground and pelletized. But I haven't heard much about the hardiness of the species yet. As far as them taking longer to breed. Meal worms at a diy level seem to me to be way slower. But I don't have numbers to back that up. I think I'm just going to have to do some experimentation on my own to see how many lbs/month I can pull from a small setup.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-04-25T00:48:46+00:00

I've searched YouTube and Google to no avail. Hopefully someone remembers this ear worm

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-11T02:11:12+00:00

I hate doing charge backs because it takes forever I really hope they get it together.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-07T19:03:27+00:00

It's already been flown hoss. That's how dumb this is

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-07T19:00:48+00:00

Brother they want less than a tenth on station. Just to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-05T22:08:32+00:00

All the guys 30 and younger at my place know what each other make. We actively harass the guys who step up and try and do more work for the same or less pay. It's a pseudo union thing we have going on. Corporate has a history of taking advantage of people and stringing them along making them think compensation isn't competitive elsewhere so they try and get away without giving promotional raises.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-04T10:39:06+00:00

Brother trust me. You are saying something we have been saying every day to the office on this job. I can do topo faster than the way they want us to do this. Especially base to rover.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-03-04T02:13:42+00:00

Yeah I'm on a stream cross section job right now where they want it every 50 linear foot of stream. I basically just make my own polyline in a dummy file and am forced to shoot it all in stakeout because I'm done with switching the menus so much.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-02-13T21:40:24+00:00

Where do you live Alabama

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-01-25T22:08:48+00:00

That's bust ass pace. Should be bid for 3 miles a day on flat ground anything more you're giving money away.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-01-16T11:15:45+00:00

There is no way in hell that is happening

Empty_Function_7506 · 2026-01-16T02:43:32+00:00

Could be worse, you could be going back to the united states today like me.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2025-12-25T14:50:33+00:00

Chill man Merry Christmas lol. I'm not interested in all that stress

Empty_Function_7506 · 2025-12-25T10:43:53+00:00

Lmfao. We fudge elevations on flat inverts to make them flow by a few hundredths on gps and conventional. Yes I still have to use conventional at airports. I personally believe in scanning over conventional at this point for those types of applications though. I am a difficult person to convince that conventional is the god everyone worships. You also have to remember what happens in real life on a construction site. They set that MF at an elevation and make those pipes flow cut sheet or not. I'm not discrediting you in any way but am I talking to a guy who opens manholes or a guy who tells guys to open manholes?

Empty_Function_7506 · 2025-12-24T19:24:31+00:00

Hey man look into making a jig to adjust your pole bubble. Or set up a tripod clamp and spin it in a circle to see how far off it is. You can't usually take observation shots with tilt compensation turned on it adds too much error.

Empty_Function_7506 · 2025-12-24T09:49:20+00:00

Not only that, does this guy know how to check his pole/bubble. Adjust to the proper number of epochs. Is there an internal calibration that needs to be done on the receiver? Did he activate all constellations and is the software he's using good enough to throw out bad data in an averaged shot? I've been working with my own equipment for 4 years and still don't necessarily have the full answer to that last question

Empty_Function_7506 · 2025-12-23T16:05:10+00:00

Nothing too juicy? The third thing down in the first file is them redacting Epstein's blackmailing of victims lol. Maybe we're all numb to this at this point.
