Say for some reason there was an absolute law that said you must stop doing what you are doing now six months from today.?ÿ You could do anything else, including absolutely nothing, except what you are doing currently (land surveying).?ÿ What might you do?
Another full time occupation?
Another part time occupation?
Become a full time volunteer, which might actually be six different forms of volunteering?
Sell everything and move to a little grass hut in Fiji to stare out into the nothingness of open water all day, every day?
Low budget traveling just to see places you have never been or to reconnect with relatives or old friends?
Take up sky diving, parasailing, bungee cord and zip line challenges, take up pickle ball?
Become a pain in the rear to anyone you encounter on a regular basis?
But, ABSOLUTELY NO LAND SURVEYING.
Become a realtor and harass surveyors until one of them shoots me.
I would like to work for the US Forest Service.?ÿ Somewhere remote like Alaska or Montana.?ÿ Maybe be a forest technician and work as a timber cruiser.?ÿ?ÿ
Crash Test Dummy. Either that or get breast implants and become an Exotic Dancer.
Powder boy at the Playboy Club.
Truthfully, I have put in so much time working with public education from a volunteer position, I would try to find something I could do at least halftime that would take advantage of my knowledge and contacts.?ÿ For example, the Executive Director of the National School Boards Association?ÿ is a fellow I have joked around with for years.?ÿ He's a native of somewhere close to Russell, Kansas, boyhood home of Bob Dole.?ÿ The current President of NSBA happens to be from Kansas and a fellow I have shook hands with on numerous occasions.?ÿ I worked in professional society management in my first years out of college, so understand how things work.
A complete change from land surveying.
- Develop a 90 minute talk on my surveying experiences and go on the conference circuit
- Pursue my original intention of becoming an engineer
- possibly get into construction site management
- develop my long term hobby of woodworking into a business
- become a gym rat
- run for public office?ÿ
You could do the reverse of me: I retired from something else and spend my time harassing land surveyors.
... as well as 3 or 5 other volunteer and club activities.
.....scream my self hoarse and then sit for a few days silently wondering WTF I committed to this process for and then open a food truck and work on my side gig
?ÿ
?ÿ(edited.?ÿ Sorry Angel.)
I'm kidding.?ÿ The food truck is way too difficult.
probably just lament and develop software to fix all the failings in the applications I and others suffer through daily.
???? ?????ÿ
I'd find a suitable college where I could teach surveying and construction layout.
Sell everything and move to a little grass hut in Fiji to stare out into the nothingness of open water all day, every day?
And write a book.
Crash Test Dummy. Either that or get breast implants and become an Exotic Dancer.
Or a shop teacher....

Never stared at the Ocean have ya? It's anything but boring. ?????ÿ
