You need to follow your passion. If you like Surveying stay in it. You must be doing something right to be one of the last left at your company. If ge...

I can see the value of the 4 year degree. Some of the best Surveyors I've met had no formal schooling. Some with 4 year degrees were not so good ( man...

I was going by the sketch in the first post.

The line to the North takes land not owned. The owner had no right to sell it.
