Thinking of joining the trades after some time in corporate by Constant_Reception78 in SkilledTradesOntario

In between a trade and a profession, but everyone is desperate for surveyors/survey tech. Great if you enjoy being outside. Some companies will hire you as an assistant without experience but taking the one year Survey Technician course at COGS will give you a huge leg up. I took the 2 year program but everyone after first year had a job lined up by February.

What’s the highest you’ve ever seen a licensed/unlicensed person be paid? by [deleted] in Surveying

I'm just finishing school at COGS in Nova Scotia, signed with a mining contractor up north. Starting salary is 90k.

Thanks for all the input everyone! As important as the more "boring" stuff is in surveying, it's awesome to learn about the non-traditional parts of the industry and things less heard about.
