I can attest to that fact....

As a matter of fact probably 99% of the folks on here have that!

Give the man a job DT. You can afford it. Pay him to do your fishing and you post the reports. That way you can take credit for something.

FnG: Theres a users group in this area that is often advertising on behalf of organizations that are hiring in the field. You may want to get on their DL for notices - as well as other good GIS Q&A.

You have me confused with Bad Behavior

Of course, I can see why. I am BALD, and I guess a little CHUBBY......

I would check with county property appraisers as they are required to maintain GIS databases as well as agencies that use a lot of maps such as law enforcement or environmental protection. Good luck.

Seriously, in this area, you could check with timber companies, and some of the many plantations around here. They are all beginning to use GIS to map out their properties. There are also quite a few individuals in this area that are timber cruisers that may want GIS services.


You can thank me by sending us another one of those "photos of the week"

Another possiblility would be the Water Management Districts.

Email a resume to StinsonSW@yahoo.com. I own a land surveying company. Unfortunately, I am not big enough to employ you yet, but I do have a lot of contacts in the engineering / survey/ GIS area.
