Our job
Isn't recreate the world. I wont intersect the center section if it was set until im sure there is no disintegrated pipe or rust ring. Your job is to hold that position unless obliterated. A lot of guys dont get that.

I bet land surveyor numbers in Texas are shrinking due to the licensing processes. It doesn't appear as if you are eligible to apply for a surveyor-in-training certification without doing what that certification licenses you to do for a year or two. Maybe I'm wrong, but it almost looks like it is literally impossible to get licensed as a surveyor in Texas as of those changes in the law that were made fairly recently.

Survey companies need to research how to become apart of the militaries skillbridge program thus creating a military to civilian pathway. This is in reference on how to replenish the ranks. The military forces thousands of young Americans from all over the country to be surveyors because it's s requirement however most just get out after 4 to 10 years and don't ever use that experience. If these kids knew there was life on the other side of the uniform no state b
Would be delenquient of surveyors just from military pathway.

1991 ohio required no college degree for surveyor license, only 5 yesr apprenticeship and take test... today.. 4 year college degree, pass test, pay 15 hours of continuous education usually hundreds of miles from your office at your own exspense.. . hard pass... the surveying profession here is sharply declining.
