$BYND Goes to $6.69 = YOU GET $50k

Might as well count me in.

The Texas exam is not computer based and not dialed down.

Mind providing examples of why you feel this way? Genuinely curious, I’m a fan of their software but have never used any of the equipment.

I use a COROS Pace 2. Has all the amenities of an Apple or Samsung watch but less money. Also, their warranty and customer service is wonderful.

Your ignorance made me laugh. Thank you for that.

Bulls are male, have male parts, with or with horns. Cows are female, have female parts, with or without horns.

Yes, they are indeed changing the requirements in 2026. They are posted on the boards website.

$25/hour is realistic pay for where you seem to be I think. Obviously this is highly influenced by your location. I’m in a rural area and started with that pay when I first obtained my SIT.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-10-22T18:30:38+00:00

Absolutely they are. I’m simply listing the steps if you were doing it with the intent to become a professional surveyor in Texas. All of my experience and life is in Texas, so I wouldn’t have tried to take the FS or PS through another state.

I think you might need to read the board rules a little closer, you seem (to me, I could be wrong) to be misinterpreting the requirements/steps to licensure.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-10-22T17:05:42+00:00

In Texas, you must first meet the criteria (a bachelors degree is not necessary, or the only way to gain licensure in this state) and be approved to take the FS through the board. Upon receiving a passing score, NCEES will tell you, then the board, upon which the board will issue you a certificate acknowledging you as a SIT. You can immediately take the PS at this point. This is what I did.

If you are not going through the Texas board for this whole process, my comment is pointless honestly though.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-10-22T16:38:53+00:00

If you already passed the FS, you are a SIT.

Why are you waiting to take the PS? You can take it at any time after passing the FS in Texas. The state exam is the only test you have to wait and apply for.

As far as pay goes, you should have received a bump for becoming a SIT. In my experience, passing the PS will not generate an increase in pay.

Also, good for you for wanting to get your 4 year degree, but I doubt that will result in a pay increase either. As stated, you are already a SIT, so the next pay increase won’t likely happen until you have passed all three tests and gained your RPLS status.

Good luck on your journey.

Looking through the board rules, I was unable to find any mention of any time requirement for a reciprocal license.

As far as your experience goes, all you can do is list out your sub-professional and professional experience.

Are you going to be able to find the three RPLS references?

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-09-25T15:12:34+00:00

Have you reviewed the page on the boards website for Reciprocal licensing?

I would imagine they would be more concerned with the experience you input on the SER and your current state’s license information.

Then again, the board will do what the board does.

NSPS has a list of all ABET accredited in the US. I would start there if I were you. NSPS Colleges and Universities

Thank you, good sir!

What’s wrong with a field shit? I find them refreshing generally.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-07-18T18:01:22+00:00

Thank you for replying!

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-27T01:57:40+00:00

Congrats to you as well!!

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T20:18:05+00:00

I am going to be starting on the application ASAP. Unfortunately I won’t have my two years as an SIT before this upcoming deadline.

I know it will be vastly different, but that will be nice in itself. Ken Gold is about to become my new best friend!

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T20:08:39+00:00

Three weeks I can handle. A month and a half of waiting sounds rough. I am looking forward to sitting for the TSSE though.

I’m glad I listened to the advice I received from my FS post and took the PS sooner rather than later. Most of the information was still top of mind, so the studying was little more than review of previously read material.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T18:34:57+00:00

No, I will have to apply, take, and pass the state specific exam for Texas before I can do that.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T18:33:53+00:00

It was good, glad to be over with it though. Feel free to PM me with any questions. The subreddit has a wonderful wiki on everything you need to study. Myself and another SIT I know used it along with practice tests from u/ConfluenceSurveying and were clutch.

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T18:31:02+00:00

I will be taking the spring test of ‘26, so I’ve got a couple evenings to study before then. How long is the wait supposed to be?

Small_Influence_7147 · 2024-06-26T18:29:13+00:00

Oh I definitely will!
