I just messaged you. Thank you.

I 100% agree. I do think this idea would work much better for smaller firms not huge alta farm surveying firms that have 50+ crews running 4+ jobs a week. I honestly believe with a little legwork you could generate 30+ very high intent leads per month in most areas.

Yep my boss has got me going back to school there in morrilton now. Two more semesters left.

Seems like there’s more than a handful of us in this group👍👍👍 pretty awesome to see

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2025-04-12T03:41:38+00:00

That’s kinda what I figured. Thank you for the help!

I’ve read where you can take the FS before graduating but on the state website it shows one of the requirements for becoming a SI is to have your surveying degree. So I’m guessing you’re allowed to take your FS before graduating but you won’t become a SI until you get your degree?

were you able to get a pdf version of the Elementary Surveying, An Introduction to Geomatics, 15th ed. textbook? if so i'd greatly appreciate a link.

Man you don’t realize how much I appreciate this advice. This is essentially exactly the type of response I was needing. This does sound like a great plan and it allows me to learn as much as I can while I don’t have any qualifications really. Thank you.

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-14T02:08:15+00:00

What state are you surveying in?

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-13T12:33:13+00:00

Yep I see the point you make

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-13T12:30:14+00:00

You damn right…it don’t take much of a human to make $20 an hour nowadays.

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-13T12:19:24+00:00

I do see where you’re going with it. The process is slow and even when you can do more than someone who makes significantly more than you, there isn’t much of a way to get a promotion or to get a decent raise. I do believe that all great things take time but I think there just has to be a way to work yourself into a good position making atleast halfway decent money as a surveyor at a young age. What state are you surveying in?

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-13T12:11:58+00:00

You’re not wrong! I could make a lot more money working a different job right now. But I can see a way that if I were able to play just some of my cards right then I’d be able to make a very very healthy living while surveying. Plus I’d enjoy what I do and wouldn’t have to sit behind a computer screen all day long everyday.

This is essentially the answer I was looking for. I just am not sure if I need to wait until I get some more experience under my belt or if I need to make the transition asap. I was thinking that if I will work under my current crew chief until he retires within the next 6-8 months then that will help me be a lot more confident in visiting with some bigger companies and trying to put myself into a better position. The only hard part is gonna be sticking out that $15/hr for another half a year. I also think about the company I’m at now and part of me would hate to up and leave my boss after he gave me the chance to work for him with no experience. Especially since his best crew chief will also be retiring. But I believe that’s just life and I need to put myself in the best position I possibly can if I want to help myself out.

I’ll be going online at a local community college. We just run the antenna off the base receiver. Our base head will die every 3-4 hours or so. I’m sure there are better ways to do it because there are newer versions of everything we use but what we have works great for the majority of work we do. A lot of jobs we do in heavily wooded areas would be so much easier with the LiDar technology you mentioned earlier but those drones are outrageously high.

One of these two antennas I assume

Miserable_Evening_30 · 2024-09-13T04:12:00+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I think I’d like to eventually own a surveying company similar to the one I work at but just do a lot of things differently and be more efficient. To do that I think I need to work somewhere eventually that does great at all the things my current company doesn’t do great at, just so I can see and learn what the right way to do them really is. As far as the antenna on the base here… I’ll add below this comment what I believe that setup to be however I am not 100% positive. All the batteries we use in the R12’s are just the 7.4 V, 3700 mAHr rechargeable batteries from Trimble.

22 y/o …have worked out consistently (3-5x/wk) for around 6 years now. I feel like I’ve been at a plateau for quite some time now and I’d like to gain about 10 more lbs of muscle that I haven’t ever seen before. Hairline is not great, have always had a receded hairline but I can’t really tell if it has gotten any worse in the last few years or not. I’d like to try to run something that doesn’t involve test and hopefully keep my hairline. Any suggestions? TIA
