Recently I had the opportunity to work with a survey team. It’s just an opportunity for some extra cash, but it’s also an interesting learning experience.
Being a rod man on a survey team can be defined very easily in two steps. Hold a ruler straight up for the surveyor to measure with. Then move forward and repeat. That’s all there is to it. It can be hot and exhausting work, if you’re surveying six miles of winding canal in the mountains; but, if you like hiking, it can also be sort of fun.
All in all, I’d have to say that it’s not that bad of a job, but it is really fairly boring. Story of my life.
