Surveying and mapping industry: not suitable for people with zero foundation

Surveying and mapping industry is a wide-ranging industry, involving architecture, geology, mathematics, geotechnical engineering, planning and other fields. For people with zero foundation, it is relatively easy to master basic skills such as learning to use instruments and drawing simple sketches, but such skills can only meet the basic needs of topographic survey and need more comprehensive knowledge and skills to further develop.

Lack of guidance

If no relatives and friends have experience in surveying and mapping industry and are willing to guide you, it will be difficult to enter this industry. It may be unrealistic for some training institutions to claim 8,000 yuan as the promise of trainees. They may make you do heavy manual labor, but the monthly salary is only about 1000 yuan.

Difficulties in career development

Surveying and mapping industry needs more comprehensive knowledge and skills, and it is difficult to develop in depth just by mastering basic skills. In the end, you may only learn some basic skills, and it is difficult to develop in the industry.

Age is not appropriate

Considering your age of 36, surveying and mapping work is usually manual work, which requires young people to have the spirit of hard work. When recruiting, many companies prefer to recruit talents with college degree or above and engineer title, or only recruit surveyors to do basic work.

Choose a career carefully

Although the surveying and mapping industry has a broad development prospect, it is not easy for people without foundation and experience to enter this industry. I suggest that you should fully consider your actual situation and goals when choosing a career and make a careful decision.
