Advice for Someone Wanting to Break Into Land Surveying
Not sure if this has been posted already or something similar, but I’m looking for advice.
I’m a recent graduate with a bachelor’s in computer science. There’s an upcoming workshop for land surveying. Where I’m at, there’s a shortage for them. I inquired with the head of the department that’s hosting it and explained my situation. I inquired if my degree/field of study could be incorporated into anything dealing with it. They steered me into the drone piloting path. I have no knowledge about land surveying or drone piloting (not sure that’s the formal name). I plan to go with an open mind of course. What’s the day to day life like? Are you able to have a work/life balance? Do you have to travel often? Are you able to live comfortably with the salary you receive from doing this line of work?
Also, I’m a woman so if any other women can share insights on how the field is. Open to anyone to give insight too of course :)
