Intro from the Midwest
Another site newbie. Joined around the winter holidays, but hadn’t intro’d myself.Worked over 30 yrs at engineering co as civil engr tech – water/wastewater utility engineering, mostly treatment plant & facilities sites & transmission/distribution mains. Started out drafting, then progressed into design/layout & assisting w/ project managing. The last 10 years have also had real estate broker license (sometimes think I’m too honest to be in real estate).Had surveying class in junior college in late 70’s, but a lot of advancement in surveying technology since then. Had involvement w/ surveying on projects, but mostly just the results, not the info gathering.Wanting to get back into engineering &/or branch into surveying – hence why I joined RPLS Today. Did enjoy geometry & trig & once aspired to get into surveying. Like history, so the deeds/records research could be interesting – had a smidge of that w/ rural real estate.Had AutoCAD experience, but mostly 2D. Now have the 2-1/2″ thick ‘Mastering Civil3D’ book to see what I can glean from it. Also explored surveying classes, but next cycle doesn’t begin until this fall. Hope to attain LSIT status – after that, we’ll see. May be difficult to get the experience to obtain PLS.
