and no more kids in College!!!! After 10 years of being a solo surveyor, I welcome with open arms my youngest Son to the Company as a full time employee.
Ross walked the walk at Sam Houston State on Saturday and received his diploma.
He has a way's to go before becoming an RPLS, but he has the college degree requirement out of the way and the desire to learn.
Randy
Congrats Randy! He's got the best mentor that he could hope for and you get a full time pack mule. Yay!
Like! 🙂
I agree with Deral. Not a better mentor for him out there. Congratulations on the achievement to you both.
Congratulations to you both! My son who swore he would never survey for a living is working in Orlando as an IM (for peanuts). He could take his LSIT exam in Mississippi but life is not worth living if it's here.... you know how it is. WTG!
Congratulations to both of you.
Now, it's time to drum up twice as much work to get done every week.
Congratulations. 🙂 My oldest is staring college this fall.
"Desire to learn"
Don't let him lose that part of it, keep him interested no matter what!
I've see the "Desire to learn" whipped outta' some that could have done
well in this profession by someone trying to make a "point".
Few want to be a brushcutter and pack mule all their lives...
Feed that "desire".... and it will pay off in the end!
Congratulations on the business, "upgrade"......
That is wonderful Randy. Getting that diploma is a big step for a young man.
Congratulations :good:
Congrats to both of you. He has proven he can learn and now gets to begin proving he can think through the problems surveyors encounter. Conversely you now get to learn to be patient as well as a new phase in professionalism, teaching someone how to "think through the problems surveyors encounter." I have found that to be the most difficult thing for the teacher to learn. Remember "Just because I said so!" is not teaching.
How could you....
do this to your poor Son!!! 😉 B-)
Very nice. It is going to be a fun ride together. I am still fortunate enough to be able to have long conversations with my Dad, often business related.
Randy
Congrats to him, and to you.
However, a word of caution, if you will allow me this license, as you are aware, working with your kids is a whole different kind of employees. Since he looks to take over your operation, remember this moment here when he wants to take your company in a direction you don't agree with. May save both of you some hurt feelings and heartache down the road.
Kris, I worked 23 years for my dad before I took the company over and bought it, Morgan

PostScript, my dad works for me now, and it's really no different than the preceding 23 years. 🙂

About 25 years ago, I had my dad working for me in California. It made me appreciate (years later) some of the stuff he put up with from me 15 years earlier.
Working with family can either be a joy or a nightmare and rarely anything in between.

Congrats Randy, I am sure you are very proud.
