Spot on. Also "Our concept of training does not involve anything other than you working billable hours with a crew leader who may or may not know what they are doing, and who may or may not feel like explaining surveying techniques."
Sounds like the ad I saw for my first surveying/CAD position. 20+ years later, we're still at it.
Thanks to all those along the way who helped me find my way in this great trade. You know who you are.
