Welcome William, 3rd generation thats cool. You have a head start in the game with all that experience in the family. You've found an awesome resource here too.

Good to know!

3 years ago we transitioned into the GPS world. We now basically only use our GRX1.

My son is working on getting his SIT while in college to be an engineer at A&M. I have no issue with the engineer part, but I don't know where I went wrong with the surveyor part. 🙂

He will be a 3rd generation surveyor also.

Welcome. I tried to get my son to be a surveyor. He gets poison oak real bad, as we found out with his first trip to the field.

Poison oak is serious, I can roll around all day in Poison Ivy, but Poison oak will cause me to break out and itch. I dont want to see what Poison Oak will do to someone who has a serious out break to Poison Ivy

Maybe he wanted to actually make some money......? He can survey as a hobby in the mean time.
