Look what??s back! Might have to start off 2021 with a visit to my old aquaintance. I??ll wear my shitkickers.

I'm guessing the Construction part weighs heavily....and if you admit to having Autocad they'll chain you to the desk after you return from the field, and make you an exempt non-OT slave to the company. SOunds great!?ÿ Save me a spot please!!!!

@jitterboogie not only construction, but highway construction.?ÿ at night.?ÿ the guy hunts those jobs down for the fee differential.?ÿ plus i think he's a vampire.
I think salery is also area dependent. You cannot expect one to make more in San Francisco than say death valley...
You could look up the County Surveyors salery in your particular county as that is public information.
except for the National Society of Professional Surveyors successfully lobbied to have surveyors exempt from Federal Davis Bacon requirements. WHICH PISSES ME OFF MASSIVELY.
That is a good way to gage a salery vs skillset.
True. Esp because some high school drop out schleb pushing a hot asphalt rake can clear 2000 dollars a week on a summer repaving interstate highway gig
I don't think that would help much. For positions that require specific education/professional licenses American?ÿ goverments usually lag far behind the private sector as far as salaries go.?ÿ
Leave it to Surveyors to lobby the government for lower wages, tell me again why it is hard to find good help.

If it is a PW job in WA, L&I doesnt care one bit what the feds say. You must pay everyone...even licensed professionals as a surveyor.?ÿ
Strangely, last time I looked, the guidance said that construction surveyor crews are not exempt, but they also do not have a rate for them. They are either Mechanics or Laborers.
There are rates there, but no PLS rate. Everybody at "Journey" level makes the same. With PW, the chainman on the field crew ends up making more than the PLS in charge of the operation back at the office does.
I'm not a big fan of PW in general. I am a big fan of collecting PW paychecks.?ÿ NSPS shouldn't be lobbying against PW. Leave that to others. NSPS should be lobbying to make PW conform better to how surveyors do business.
