Q: Is there a lot of math involved in surveying?
Yes. Although today most is done by computer, it is invaluable to know how to apply the formulas by hand.
Q: How much money does a surveyor make?
Not enough. When you select this career path you must truly enjoy the outdoors because you can make more money doing a lot of other professions.
Q: I have my Deed and it has all of the calls listed, why can’t you just run that bearing and go that distance and set my corner?
It isn’t that hard. The bearings and distances shown on your Deed is simply a ‘pointer’ to the corner location. Courts have set priorities to the order of importance for evidence and courses and distances are near the bottom. Much more goes into determining a corner location than simply the bearing and distance specified.
