Exams?! there are exams!?
Actually, if a man is capable of being SF he is capable of doing a little bit of study and earning his license. Also, with BLM you are not required to have a surveyors license to do the surveying, since BLM is the licensing authority... thats how we get away with it.
Steve o,
We're about to get this CFEDS off the ground here in CA, probably in the fall. I am all for it, it means that we get to do a whole lot of inspecting and contract out all the brush line clearing... Which for me is the reall ass kicker of this job.
You private guys may earn more money, but we don't have the lay offs like you do. I guess I really love this job, so it's hard for me not to look at it with anything other than rose colored lenses.
Cadastral Survey... because it would kill a normal man.
You have purdy ladies at the court house?
Last records search we did, I met a hairlipped old fart at CalTrans, and a beehived headed old lady at the irrigation district. We're working on an indian res boundary right now.
