It costs money to take a surveying class, or buy tools to practice your skills. It also takes having money saved so if there is a crisis, car repairs, etc you don’t have to constantly work overtime to keep your bills paid. Please reach out to a friend who is making less than a “living wage” in their area and ask them about career development and what they need. I appreciate your question.
