Are the any jobs that imply being PrepHole most of the time that meet the following criteria?
a) You don't need to go to college for it
b) It is not physically demanding to the extent that you can do it even if you are old.
In my mid 30s and contemplating a change, but aware that it isn't very nice to cut down trees at 60 years old.
Pic slightly related.
could plant trees instead
Extremely labor intensive
They hire migrants to do this work in The US
Isn't it piecemeal work that you literally can't live off of?
It is piecework
The migrants dont look poor, just south american
Doubtful a regular person could hack it
They have to be physically fot and mentally tough
>mid 30s
>no degree
Better get that degree fast and then get a Masters.
Construction in rural region, you will spend lots of times on roads surrounded by woods.
Land surveyor. It's not easy, but it's not always hard.
Are you a surveyor? I've been considering doing this in a few years when I am able to. It seems real comfy, a good level of challenge/technicality combined with being outside and getting to use cool gadgets
Yes. Feel free to ask questions if you have any for me
Not OP, but what's the career path like, how does one become a surveyor? And obviously what's the pay
Seconding
Everyone starts as a Survey "Assistant". No education needed whatsoever, unless you want specific titles/jobs later on. Experience is the best teacher.
Companies are desperate for surveyors. People from other surveying companies were trying to poach me while I attended the safety courses.
Takes a special kind of outdoors person to want to tromp in the woods all day, 6 days a week, in all weather conditions, with all the bugs and wild animals around, too. Anyway, you should have no problem making 50k (Canadian $) a year as an assistant. When you are no longer an assistant, expect to move up to 70-95k. Really depends on how much work you want to do in a year.
Long story short, you find legal evidence to base tour survey off of. Then locate things. You are making a map with gps coordinates. You won't have to worry about doing any mathematical calculations until you move up from being an assistant.
How intensive is the math portion of the job? Ever have any problems with landowners? Sounds like a really cool job, but I live in the city, you think there's still some prospects there?
The math portion is not hard as everything is digital now. No problems with landowners at all but like I say I'm in Canada. Surveying in a city would be very different than what I do. Surveying in the city would comprise alot of metal detecting then digging holes. But certainly there's a company in your city that does out of town work
Give it a go anyway. If you hate it, you lost nothing but time
You could suck wieners in a safeway parking lot
Putting out forest fires, planting trees, working for your city's parks/outdoor maintenance department, landscaping (physically hard af), snow plowing.
Live in city
Dress as monkey
Through poop
When captured yell "I am monkey"

It's called farming.
Fish farming.
Although I got into it through school. I'm getting a hydrobiology degree but I know a lot of people who work here that don't have a degree and they still get to spend most of the time working outdoors. Just drive around with an ATV and check beaver traps that sort of things and what not.
>need a degree
garbage post, stopped reading
Literally don't need a degree, I just said I got there through school and as I said a lot of the people there don't have a degree. One coworker didn't even finish high school and is getting a really good wage.
I'm a fisheries specialist there. But a lot of people there do a lot of the same work as I just the pay differences and what not come into play.
planting spruce trees
or wait, those are the christmas tree kind right?
That is one very outdoorsy Black Gentleman, OP. You have to commend him, you dont often see African Americans going into the woods.
