I said STEM you mongrel

the fist 4 are literal virgin tier
EE is pretty based tho and the last one is just a meme

the last one was a meme, but the first 5 were sincere. Try this one on for size:
>Logician

>get to be outside in nature
>Get to share in the profit made from it's destruction
If I saw a land surveyor around and nobody else I would bully them and then shit in my hand and throw it at them.

I hope you learned a lesson user. That really sucks, but you're still gonna make it c:

jealous office cuck, the post

I hope shit turns out better for you user
don't worry, you'll get a survey job soon, they're always in demand.. have you tried a private company?

How's it STEM really? Don't you just need a bachelor's in anything to get started?

Cool job though. Definitely a great option for certain people. Grats to you.

Surveying isn't STEM, its a trade.

Oh, this is actually perfect.

I was just looking at a surveying job ("environmental technician") in my area, but I'm not sure how to apply for it.

I started a geology degree, but I didn't finish it. How much will that hurt me? The job doesn't have any degree requirements listed, but it does list "archeology, anthropology or GIS background" as a plus.

Am I screwed, or do I stand a chance?

I make my money on a farm and am an ecologist by vocation, I'm very skilled at taxonomy, biodiversty science and community and systems ecology, I'm getting good at theory and landscapes.
Needless to say I spend a lot of time outside.
I will make more money this year on ginseng, shiners and watermelons than any land surveyor ever will.

nah sometimes you don't even need a B.S., just your state licenses. It's STEM because it's like Civil Engineering

Nah dude, you should be good just be honest with how much you know about geology and how it can apply to surveying

>on a farm
Ok Cleetus,
I'll justbe over here enjoying my six figure salary :^)

surveying is 1 degree removed from gis "engineer" which is one degree removed from your average google earth user

>hehe I don't understand how map making works so I'll reduce it to "google maps", that'll show him
unironically you

Do land surveyors account for the earth's curvature?

depends on the size of the project.
for example, if you're just doing someone's backyard or trying to rebuild an avenue, it's still forgivable

but once you're building highways or long bridges, such as the San Francisco bridge, you must take the Earth's curvature into consideration

Have you built a long bridge?

not yet user, the company I work for does smaller projects such as schools, business lots, height certificate surveys, property boundarys, etc.
though theoretically any surveyor can help build a bridge, mostly the state or city surveyors/municipalities take care of that, as they're the ones with that sort of budget

I'd fucking shoot you for slinging literal shit at me unprovoked.

I want to see you try faggot

>have to communicate with another human being in real life

I dont do the job thing.
