What did you do before you were a locator?
When I got into locating I had a pretty irrelevant background for the job.
I had/have a Political Science degree (they can’t take it away from me, but I wouldn’t try to stop them if they did), and had worked as a realtor, a bookkeeper, a bakery boy, a bartender, a wading pool lifeguard, and just prior to being hired I was the founder of an ‘Uber-for-moving’ style app.
My fellow rookie locators also came from all kinds of interesting/random/inexplicable backgrounds, none of which had anything to do with utility line locating.
I’ve tried to capture that eclectic mix in this scene from our upcoming mockumentary series, Locators.
How about you? What did ya’ll do before you got into it?
