For the past 3 years of so I've been trying to figure out something to start or get into so I can break out on my own, working for someone else sucks. Have a couple buddies in planning and development, civil eng. A couple recommended looking into surveying but iirc the rules to become one have changed and it is pretty tough now. Anyone have any input or info.

From what I can tell, site development/subdivision design is a huge headache

I had also actually looked into going back for surveying while I was looking for a job, but it looked like a hell of a lot of additional work on top of all the schooling I already had.

Always thought a good work-for-yourself or retirement gig would be environmental permitting.

I'm pretty sure you have to work as an apprentice under a licensed surveyor for 3 years before you can get your own license.

I know the guy we use has more work than he can handle.
