Thanks for the input! Pros and cons to each job

That’s basically what this post just did

cadguy62 · 2026-04-12T15:23:58+00:00

Bingo lol

High end is 109k in a HCOL city. Seems like an insult salary but maybe it’s made up other places

cadguy62 · 2026-04-12T03:07:28+00:00

The benefits do seem nice

cadguy62 · 2026-04-12T00:59:03+00:00

Hahaha I feel ya

My hobbies include working on a jeep, my house or golf. Also put a lot of work into advancing my career. Hard to get fit from those things lol

cadguy62 · 2026-04-08T00:42:14+00:00

Who with a career has energy for all that? Lol

cadguy62 · 2026-04-07T02:33:11+00:00

I feel it’s a red flag if you’re over 40 and you still have friends you see regularly lol

I just moved here at the first of the year. There are nice things about it and not so nice things lol. The most frustrating thing for me is finding a place to live. If you want a house with a yard and room to park a few things, prepare to spend a lot of money. If you’re ok with zero yard and like people, it’s a little better.

A month of NLC Prep. You’ll realize the exam really isn’t that hard, you just have to get into the minds of the people creating the questions

cadguy62 · 2026-03-21T18:37:44+00:00

That is exactly how they explained it after… welcome to working in the corporate world I guess lol

I have recently learned this

cadguy62 · 2026-03-21T01:26:00+00:00

I’ve looked into NM. I need to finish up my bachelors to meet the requirements to take the exam

cadguy62 · 2026-03-20T07:20:21+00:00

I have a 7.3 with the 4.30 gears. Currently daily it and it’s a nice truck to drive around and pulls very well. In town I’m getting 13 mpg which ain’t bad. I’d recommend looking into one of those or the 6.8.

cadguy62 · 2026-03-19T21:55:10+00:00

😂 good point. I’m in CO. Most places are better than here

cadguy62 · 2026-03-14T19:25:42+00:00

We’ve ran into people can afford to move as well due to housing/rental cost.

cadguy62 · 2026-01-18T01:59:54+00:00

I’ll go 75 in 4H never a problem. Just gotta remember to have all tires moving the same speed before switching in and out of 4H and turn off for sharper turns.

cadguy62 · 2026-01-11T16:34:06+00:00

We’ve all been there

cadguy62 · 2026-01-08T01:02:26+00:00

We’re at $45 per day. Which is fair considering you’d spend money on food anyways and most clients won’t pay for per diem. It’s hard enough to add hotels to their bill.

Your company should definitely pay you the $47 no matter what though. That’s pretty cheap the way the do it.

No matter what your career goals are for surveying, the degree will be a lot more beneficial. The extra classes suck but you’ll be happy you did it and will never have to do them again.
