Actually, no, I didn't. In a literal sense you may be right, but that's hardly the point. The point is to encourage young folks (of all ages), to join our ranks; to visit here; share their educational challenges (if they're still in school), to provide a different perspective; to expand the depth and breadth of our community.
share their educational challenges (if they're still in school)
Life is a educational challenge, why would you condition it with "(if they're still in school)"?
I began interacting with many of you circa 2001, or 14 years ago. I just turned 38. I was a "young surveyor" then, and I'm still a "young surveyor" now. I'm just a little slower (not much) than I was at 24. I was an SIT and about to get my license when we began the banter.
I've learned MANY MANY things here, that I would have never been exposed to otherwise. To relegate younger surveyors to a sub-forum does them, and us, a disservice.
Joe Ferg,
Judging from the cool avatar, you have earned the right to be stubborn. Carry on Troop.
