What You'll Do: Surveyors determine the accuracy of existing boundaries by completing physical measurements by land or by air and compare findings with legal documents. They often measure and stake land, which establishes the dimensions of construction projects varying from housing developments to public facilities. After acquiring all of the physical characteristics of a particular location using specialized equipment and computer programs, a surveyor prepares and updates maps, reports and sketches of locations and enters data onto deeds, titles or other legal documents.

Some work as underground surveyors who determine sublevel structures and utilities prior to building or road construction. Initially surveyors evaluate blueprints and obvious above ground details of a location. Verifying current data requires using frequency resonance, ground-penetrating radar or X-rays before construction begins. Individuals specializing in underground structures might also establish the boundaries of archeological sites.

Hydrographic surveyors use a wide array of equipment for determining currents, tides and shorelines along with underwater landscape features for marine navigation or offshore drilling companies.

After acquiring experience in the field, surveyors may obtain office positions where they train and supervise technicians.

Education and Training: Surveyors require at minimum a bachelor’s degree with a major in mathematics. They also have knowledge of geography and the law. New graduates take fundamental certifications exams. After obtaining experience in the field, they qualify for the Principles and Practice of Land Surveying and state licensing exams.

The Future: The surveying profession is expected to grow at about 25% through 2020. That's faster than the average for all occupations, and can be attributed to the anticipated increase in construction related to improving infrastructure.

The Pay: As per Salary.com, annual salaries for the title "Land Surveyor 1" in the U.S. range from $26,000 to $55,000 (with an average of $40,700), while the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage of $54,800 for 2010.
