At the end of the day it's about who will invest in you. The boundary shop is only good experience if they do good work, provide mentoring, and support your growth. The big money guys are usually only good while the economy is steaming along

That is some serious truth right there!?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ

FWIW, I'd tend toward taking the new job.?ÿ ?ÿWhile you are doing boundary work, it sounds like the same thing every day that may or may not be to your future benefit.

Thank you to everyone who read my post and to those who left a message. I read every post and your suggestions were very helpful. Today I turned down the new job in construction. I spoke with my current employer and shared my concerns and personal goals. With the addition of a slight pay increase, there was an expectation to hire an additional i-man with the intent of moving me over to the crew chief position. Of course I have heard this before from but I believe they mean it.
?ÿ I ran solo robotics before in construction and I know what that job entails. I honestly don??t mind the work and feel pride at driving around the city looking at projects that I have assisted in the construction of and have been completed. With that said, I personally feel that if I can run my own crew in boundary and residential surveying, then I will have rounded out my skills fundamentally and will increase my overall value. Additionally, after another year, I will complete 2 solid years of boundary and with my undergraduate degree, I can start moving towards an LSIT.?ÿ
So, that??s where I??m at. Thanks again.?ÿ
