musty

I appreciate it! Just takes one.

Hahaha. MoM that guy!

Whoever owns the company. I wouldn’t do any field work. I’d be the person who gets the data from the guys in the field and draws that into CAD and any misc. drafting and would then give to a PLS to review and stamp.

Efficiently, or cheaply?

Yes, essentially working as technician under a PLS, but in a part-time (15-20 hours a week), remote capacity. I might be shortchanging myself on my experience, we do a lot of site and subdivision plans and plat reviews for a few nearby towns, so I’m around survey work a lot, I’ve written my fair share of legals (all reviewed by a PLS..), so I have a decent amount of experience, just not enough to sit for a PLS. But I can tell that the engineering side is not something I can myself doing for the next 30 years (at least not in a consistent, everyday role) but I’ve really enjoyed the survey work I’ve gotten to do. So this is a way to take that a little further and just see if it’s something I could see myself getting further into (while also making a little extra money doing it).

Yeah I don’t have my PLS, but am interested in getting one day. Basically just looking to see if there is a market for the remote work related to surveying - taking field points and doing the drafting in CAD, writing the legals, putting the plat together. Would be working under a PLS obviously.

Just looking to make a little extra money from the house (that I could do early mornings, at night when kids are in bed), while learning a skill that I’m interested in. My current employer doesn’t allow remote work, so if I go to them it’d be an extra 10-15 hours a day from the office. If this part time remote thing doesn’t work out then I’ll probably go to them and see if there’s any options for me to get heavier into the surveying side and what that would look like.

As far as the conflict - we are strictly in MS, my idea would be to reach out to a metro out of state and propose only working on projects in that area. Again, there may not be a market for anything like this, so it might be a mute point. From y’all’s answers it doesn’t sound like this is something common that people do.

Heartbreak. Looks like heartbreak it is.

Did we look this bad in Nashville? I don’t know much about soccer but from these untrained eyes we suck.

Will check it out! From what I’ve read it isn’t to technical.

Good point on the driving distances and times. That’ll be something my wife and I need to talk about and decide on

Wife and I shop exclusively at Kroger. I really, really hope this isn’t real.

Thank y'all so much for all of the suggestions since my original post! My wife and I spent an hour or two last night checking them out! Can't wait for the trip!
