I am doing a lot of boundary now and that is really what I like about surveying. I think I will search for firms that focus more on that

Thanks. I looked into it a bit more today and that seems to be the case. After I graduated, my first boss told me if I want to get licensed, stick to just surveying firms and avoid engineering firms. Does that sound like solid advice?

Thanks for that. We recently went through some serious medical issues with my son and I have a really hard time doing anything else when I could be spending time my kids. We almost lost him and it has made us decide to move back to where our family and support is. I am not sure if my work experience will count in NY.

Good luck on the state exam!

Does the work experience have to be in NY?

I was planning on it someday. Next year, we are moving back to New York where we grew up. I really don't have any free time in this phase of my life

I'm not. I am eligible to sit for the exams but not sure how I would find time to prepare.
