Yeah, the only way we could hope to consistently turn out competent almost surveyors from the education system is to have post graduate degrees in boundaries, but that is not very likely.?ÿ
Off the target?ÿ
Every hire wants to tell me how the survey is going to be done rather listen how to do it legally and between what time frame.
Anyone nearby need a mentor. Lol
I always have been the guy asking HOW we are supposed to do the survey, and by luck,I have ended up recently with a tremendous mentor. I hope I can pick up his path for my future and for the others I will work with eventually.
@jitterboogie Finding someone that actually cares more about the competence of helpers and overseeing that every search and measure to existing evidence is fully investigated and found and located is far more important than getting back to the office first without locating everything that was available to be found.
"Haste makes waste" has caused me to return to more projects than anything else.
Met with a client who happens to be a Physicians Assistant a few days ago. He explained a bit about that process. When he applied there were 1500 applicants going for 30 slots. Anyone who had less than a 3.95 GPA within the core classes (not all classes) did not have a prayer of being accepted. Although he had a GPA above that level he still chose to debate with the interviewers as to the foolishness of the selection process dictating such perfection. His explanation was that someone who had never received anything but A's throughout their prior education has also never experienced failure tied to their mental capacity. The real world is filled with failure, especially in the medical field. How someone handles that circumstance and adjusts to it is critical for future success. He strongly encouraged them to look more at the applicant and less on "perfection". Obviously, they accepted him so perhaps he did some good for others.
my college boundary courses covered Deeds and descriptions, how to follow instructions. That is absolutely necessary but leaves out the co-equal branch of boundaries, establishment.
That would be similar to teaching Civil Engineers how to design excavation but not engineered fill. "I need some fill designed." Oh hey we don't do that, you better talk to a lawyer. "???"
In our office, we have 2 geologists, 1 college dropout (me), an economist, 2 OIT grads, 1 Fresno grad, and a Geographer (Hawaii). Everyone is licensed except the Geographer is an LSIT but he'll be licensed in a few years, he's younger than my oldest child. We also have an office LSIT but I'm not sure how far he went in college.
