Geodetic surveyors measure large areas of the earth's surface. Geophysical prospecting surveyors mark sites for exploration below the earth's surface, usually related to petroleum.  Marine or hydrographic surveyors study harbors, rivers, and other bodies of water. Cartographers collect facts about the earth's surface. They prepare maps of large areas. Their work is like land surveyors, but they cover larger areas. Some specialists, called photogrammetrists, prepare maps from aerial photographs. This group works mainly in offices. They seldom visit the sites they are mapping.

The Future

The Future for Surveyors, etc.

The number of jobs for surveyors, cartographers, photogrammetrists, and surveying technicians is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2014.

Job opportunities will be best for those with at least a college degree and strong technical skills, such as the ability to use geographic information systems.
