Ye, most companies have marine lead acid batteries, because they charge the base all day.
>>2044
>how much do you get paid
$46k per year now, I'll be getting a raise at the end of my 60 day probation back to what I was making at the other company I worked for to $50k. That's entrance level pay scale, which I'm sure varies state to state most party chiefs make $62k - $73k per year. that doesn't include 401k, or benefits health, vision, dental, short/long term, etc You can also obtain an rpls registered professional land surveyor or an fpls federal professional land surveyor loicense, then you start making bux. I imagine the pay scale is different by region, North/South or union/nonunion, all that shit.
>how hard is it to get into
Same as anything I'd imagine, it helps to know someone. Rally depends on how much building is being done in yer area budy. Put it like this, I have no hs degree ged and 2 year tech school aviation maintenence, mostly construction back ground, I've done all kinds of stuff tho, hospitality, music gigs, security, etc and had no prior knowledge of how to survey. I grasped it faster than anyone at my old company had seen anyone grasp it, these guys were 20+ year career surveyors. as in very rairly had a job other than surveying So I rose up the ranks pretty quick. If you're not an idiot you could be running a crew in 5 years, depending. I was running crews after 8 months.

youre getting paid a little less than me but i rally want to go do more outdoors stuff instead of standing at a bench welding shit all day. though yah like you said region does play a part, i make like ~$52k/year right now without counting overtime and im just barely middle class where i live but i can go one state over and live like a fuckin king at the same salary but i dont wanna move
>it helps to know someone
what if idk any surveyors? guess i could ask my brother he does siding work on new construction so hes gotta have some contacts
>Rally depends on how much building is being done in yer area budy
thankfully there has been nonstop building in my area (or close enough at least) for like 2 decades and it doesnt seem to show any signs of stopping even with this shit ass economy. one town out here i lived in for awhile went from a mostly forested place people just passed through to get to the city to big ass suburb/shopping district and theyre still making condos and expanding neighborhoods
>all that other shit
i dont typically have a hard time grasping most things especially math because i enjoy it so im not worried too much about that. what does having a crew entail tho? do you have to micromanage some fuckers or do you just delegate some shit and they run off to do what they do? i'd gladly attempt to lead a team but if i gotta breathe down someones neck i'll wind up starting a fight through sheer autism because like any sperg im obsessed with my standards

Walking into the office with a resume in hand is a big thing. They are still mostly old school, meet irl, hand shake kinda people. Ask to talk to the field coordinator.
>non stop building
That's good, try not to get stuck on a construction crew, unless you want to be on new build sites all fucking day listening to bullshit foreman trying to weasle more work out of you. I like topographical surveys because you're inna woods all day. Lots of cool stuff out there.
>what does having a crew entail tho? do you have to micromanage some fuckers or do you just delegate some shit and they run off to do what they do?
You're responsible for what the crew does if you're a party chief. i.e. you tell your iman instrument operator to do xyz task and he fucks up its your fault. In theory you'll be with the crew all day, so they will be following your lead. In a perfect world your iman and rodman will have an idea of what to do, so you won't have to follow them around all day. Some companies only have 2 man crews, some 3 depends on the instruments and equipment they have

> is there always a crew or are there topographical surveyors that work alone? im guessing thered be safety reasons for having at least 2 people in that situation
If you're doing topos, there should be at least 2 people. Yes it's for safety reasons. The terrain can be treacherous, cliffs, bluffs, thick woods and of course wild life. Idk what region you live in, where I am there are bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, wild boar, rattle snakes, some gators several types of venomous sneks tbh. So imagine where dudder lives, there's fucking panthers, bears, pythons, alligators, all manner of bullshit. In the northwest, grizzlies, etc. I mean even deer or elk can fugg you up p gud if they wanted. Some places are OK with you carrying a piece protecting yourself beyond a machete. All in all an encounter with wild life usually ends well for everyone. As for the rest of whT you said, sounds like you're the guy for the job. If you find yourself around a construction site not full of mexicans ask someone. Usually some body can point you towards the surveyors, or can tell you the company name at least. Good luck bud.

This is something you might find yourself doing if you do construction. It's called __monitoring__. Basically you check a bunch of mag nails you've set to make sure their elevation and horizontal distances are with in tolerances they shouldn't move more that a few thousandths, our tolerance is a total of two hundreths, if the points deviate too far it means the ground is sinking and the hole will cave in. You check manholes and water valves too. Anything that's a permanent fixture surrounding the site.

Yes and no. It's certainly not weird anymore. Everything these ironic mustache having faggots came here to see and experience has either long since died, or has been systematically eradicated by those same nigger faggots who wanted to experience it in the first place. Then they fag the place up with the same shitty politics and niggardry despite being crackers that caused them to flee what ever shit hole they left from to begin with. They've made the cost of rent so fucking high I can't realistically afford a house, and I make 50k/year base hourly. not including ot there hasn't been a swim-able amount of water in the green belt in almost 3 years. I mean who would have thought? The city is built on a fucking aquifer, and when I concrete foundation the whole place up for trustafarians so they can spend daddy's money on over priced housing 1400/month is the lowest you can find for a 650 sq ft apt here in a sketched out neighborhood full of bums, junkies, and wanna be ghetto mother fuckers the rain which is minimal at best has no where to go ex eot into the storm drains, rather than refill the aquifer. Now that double nigger musk wants to put his stupid fucking magnet train or what-ever-the-fuck it is underground. Hummm let's see, bore into a limestone stone aquifer under a city which is known for flash floods when it rains, ? Profit, what could possibly go wrong amirite? I guess I'm not really making it look all that good huh? There's still some really good people here, though few far and in-between. og austinites the only austinites who like what this city has turned into were too retarded,or rich to give a fuck to begin with, so naturally they can't be bothered now, except when someone calls them on their unwarranted self importance. which does not happen __nearly__ as much as it needs to I've only lived here for 10 years inb4 cali and the city is unrecognizable to me sometimes. There are a very few original venues left, that still host local musicians. However any bird brain with a guitar and an over priced apartment on riverside who's lived here for 1 year thinks they are a fucking local the joke when I moved here was: "10 years, 1 of which was spent in prison and these fucks think they are a texan!" I'll just stop there for now.

Tl;dr austin is an over priced hellhole with a parking lot of a freeway which causes aneurysm inducing traffic across the city because they never learned how to infrastructure until it was too late. There are still some cool things, you really have to want to find them though.

Surveying about a 15 mile stretch of highway that’s getting extra lanes. We are in between the boarder and a check point. The highway is getting extra lanes added I believe.
>dodge traffic
Yeah basically playing frogger for 3 minute intervals. Each target has a mag nail at the apex of the chevron that needs 4 3 minute location epochs. tbh you can reduce that to 2 30 second shots and average but our tech is stuck in the past. Pretty amazing we got him to let us set up a base station we should have floggers, crash trucks, etc I guess the client was too cheep to pay for them. We have some signs, vests, and the lights on the truck wew such safe amirite? the simple is these Mexican trukrs dgaf for the most part and drive like savages. Wouldn’t be that big a deal if the guy who put the targets down wasn’t a fucking retard and put them further off the shoulder like he’s ’posed to do and not in the lane.

one thing i noticed is woketards and niggers only violated monuments within specific cities and didnt touch shit outside of them. theres a park straight up called "stonewall jackson shrine" (its where he died i think) that has a big ass sign advertising it on the interstate and there's also stratford hall (robert e lee's birthplace) out in the countryside and neither one of those were touched afaik, so all the smaller parks are probably completely unknown to the faggots.

got muh hi point 10mm nuclear artillery
fuckin thing is heavy as shit for a handgun, but as a result the recoil is way easy to manage. i only put 50 rounds through it today, a couple didn't cycle properly and i thought it was the gun at first but i looked more closely at the rounds themselves and a couple looked like they had little dents in them near the primer. i did get the cheapest ammo at the store though so i'm not surprised somenof them are faulty. they were tearing some decent chunks out of the stumps i was shooting at though, definitely hits way harder than 9mm that's for damn sure
no regrets for this purchase but i'm still mildly upset i took to long to get that ifg compact
