(NAFB) There are a growing number of careers that are connected to the ag industry – including careers in land surveying.
That’s Eric Meeks, President of the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors. The average of age of land surveyors is 57, so there is a huge need for more students to enter this career field as more surveyors decide to retire.
Meeks says students who have an ag background may already be well positioned to working in land surveying due to their experience with GPS.
What advice does Meeks have for students who may be thinking about a career in land surveying?
The U.S. Department of Labor’s projections over the next decade show the need for land surveyors and technicians will outpace the average growth for all occupations.
