Where to start

when you do a survey do start from the first point you find .. probably not. you find a few maybe as many as you can until you think to yourself ok we need to get to work. so that is what i did. I started with the State Specific exam for reasons particular to me. The main being the math involved in the Fundamentals and Principles (NCEES) exams. As a surveyor you would think that I should be more in tune with the math that is going on behind the scenes but I am not. I am very good at problem solving so I quickly go to the computer or data collector and I can solve the problems quickly but to do it by hand is not quite my thing yet. I'm working on it and I am getting there but it is going to take me some time.

Why take the exam

Originally I wanted to take the exam for necessity. I love my job, There are a ton of new projects for me to get into and becoming a licensed surveyor just didn't need to happen right now. The reality is that it does need to happen and here is why. The pay The Satisfaction The Freedon Simple reasons really, nothing very remarkable about those reasons except freedom maybe. Freedom is remarkable if you actually realize it in your working life. So that is what I hope a Survey license will do for me.
