Your right! Since I've never posted here...

I'm 37, work as an Acad guy for a Land Surveying Co. Yea those guys that stand on the side of the street with 'cameras' and dig holes in your front yard looking for little bits of metal. (althouh I don't work in the field anymore)

Common questions asked of surveyors:
"Whatcha digging for? Gold hehehe"
(possibly mildy funny the first time. not so much the other zillion times)

"Is that a camera"

"Why are you digging that hole. Someone found that survey bar 10 years ago. Do you have to dig it up again?"
Answer- "No I do not have to dig this hole. I'm standing out here in -20 degree weather digging this hole for fun you #$%%&^$!!"
Answer2 "Gosh no. I guess the 4 years I spent getting my Survey Engineering degree were wasted. Thanks for telling me how to do my job."
