What is there in the surveying career?
Sorry, I know of no unique characteristics that would elevate a surveying career over other careers of the same ilk.
Reply:By surveying if you mean engineering survey. It is an eye of the engineers. It gives them exact location and postion of the things. and if you mean conduction of general surveys it is not a regular career.
Reply:Surveying is one of the noble professions. While today it is mostly done with electronics, traditional surveyors use rods, chains, and transit levels to determine geographic directions and elevations. Surveyors plat subdivisions, political boundries, underground utility construction and many other projects where accurate geographic measurments are needed. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and William Clark were all surveyors at one time, so the profession has a proud heritage. It is interesting work that involves both indoor and outdoor work, problem solving and strong mathmatic skills. The University of Missouri at Rolla and Purdue University that are strong on engineering programs and could probably provide you with more in depth information. good luck
Reply:Do you mean geodetics? The job of a land surveyor entails finding the exact area of a land in a map. If you mean surveying as in census, it means knocking on doors and getting information from each household or logging on to the internet for surveys on marketable products etc. I can't really tell you much because I don't know exactly what you are looking for. Sorry.
