More nonsense pretending to know about our industry
My girlfriend and I listen to a talk radio show every day in our shared home office and two particular hosts teaming on a 4 hour segment often refer to ZipRecruiter as a source for income potential on any given career, today, the topic was something to do with tip jars in legalized pot dispensories where their salaries were discussed, according to ZipRecuiters.
It made me consult the same source for what a Professional Land Surveyor makes in NJ and reading what they wrote made me laugh uncontrollably. I particularly loved how they said the job market for a PLS in NJ is not strong and what the pay is in the 90th percentile. Both are a joke, the market for a seasoned PLS is fierce as the State is only issuing about 7 new licenses a year and the rate of those retiring or passing away is far more five or ten times the new licences per year in NJ. I get calls or emails from head hunters almost daily offering me $150K/year based on a 20+ year old resume that is floating on the internet.
This may be the problem that we have trying to recruit new people into the field and convincing people to get a degree to become licensed (I will state that I am anti-degree) when somebody without a degree and the right mentoring (like I had and give) can pass the same exam.
Open the link and let me know what you think if you are licensed in any state.
