To understand any statistics, you need to understand the controls. If you can't get that information, don't bother.

I'm working on a survey right now. 

Very tough boundary, in an area where there is not a lot of monumentation for property corners.

Benchmarks are for vertical measurements. This is all horizontal.

The sections in this area are not well monumented, and as a result, the property boundary markers are not very accurate. This is going to take me a long time to resolve, and since I cannot go do any research at the recorder's office, that makes it even worse. I have to rely on the recorder, which I do not like. They are generally just political hacks.

dug many 3-4 foot deeps holes in the middle of a gravel road intersection looking for section markers - by hand

Context is important.  Don't just want to say "I experimented with being a rod man in college" in a vacuum

There is no such thing as "rod man" or "instrument man" in land surveying anymore. All operations are done with a single person, operating GPS and robotic instrumentation.

Except the government "surveyors", or course. They are probably still running with 6-man crews.

The only government crews that get anywhere near 6 nowadays is in construction on days when you need 3000'+ of concrete pavement staked out, the string line crew is breathing down your neck, and there is a second crew brought over from another job to help out. 

Incidentally, the end of the month will feature my 10th anniversary of working at MnDOT. Going from temp laborer to senior engineer is an interesting journey.

Woodbury County Engineer's office - Survey crew - most days 4 of us

summer job while in college

didn't pay much but I got plenty of hours and plenty of sunshine and fresh air

also did inspection - slump tests, broke beams, cooked rocks on the stove, concrete air tests, pile driving resistance load bearing calcs
