I'm with you too. I am a Land Survey Crew Chief who learned everything I know on the job. I am obviously unlicensed and have no formal education in the field of surveying but I have had graduate students work under me that don't have any common sense at all. Same thing with engineering majors. They overthink everything and don't look at the big picture.

I got laid-off in Oct. 2008 and the only job I've been able to get was with the US Census. The only and LAST time I'll work for the government! Every other job I applied for said I either had too little education or was over-qualified. FINALLY, I'm starting to work as a Land Surveyor again!:rasta:
