I'm a Crew Chief in the land surveying department of a small/mid-size engineering firm with strong ties to the NC DOT. The vast majority of our projects involve infrastructure and or commercial development.
What I like about the job is the variety of skills from various academic disciplines that it requires to be a well rounded professional. I enjoy working in the outdoors, as well as having some office time.
What I don't enjoy is being stuck out in the field the majority of the time, thus making it difficult to finish studying toward attaining my professional license. (Licensed Surveyors earn about the same as Engineers) I also really don't enjoy highway projects because, well, it's dangerous out there, and you have to keep one eye on the traffic and one eye on your work.
