Glen,
Not really, I have the degree, that's all.
I did do five years of hydrographic surveying for a dredging company, echosounding, density surveys of the sea/river beds, volume calculations, stuff like that. Long hours, days weeks, lousy pay in comparison.
But all that survey stuff is in the past, topographic surveyors don't make a lot of money either doing a lousy job.
Now I don't make a lot of money doing something I like more. (I'm a superintendant for a jetgrouting company)
I guess the topographical surveys you do from the air would be a little more exiting than standing behind a total station all day, rain or shine. At least you get to fly AND get paid properly!
Sid, shame on you Birthdayboy, now go to your room!
