Land Surveyor vs Geomatics Engineer

I've said this before, but here goes...

Education is the framework that work experience fills in.

Regardless of the field, anybody thinking they know everything upon receipt of a degree is foolish.

Most programs teach so graduates can pass the NCEES exams. NCEES exams test for MINIMUM technical competence. The technicality and theory of boundary surveying can be taught in a classroom, but to become skilled at boundary surveying requires getting your boots dirty, pouring over record information, compiling evidence from deeds, surveys, testimony, field data, then applying your education and experience to formulate a well reasoned boundary resolution.

Education without experience is just as limited as experience without education.
