In order to become a licensed professional land surveyor in Montana, you need to file an application with the Montana Board of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors. You can get further information from their website. In the application you will need to describe your experience in land surveying. The Board will review your application and inform you of whether or not you are qualified to take the examinations that you will be required to pass in order to be licensed. If you have no experience in land surveying, you will need to spend a number of years working for a licensed professional land surveyor in order to become qualified.

Go to the ESRI website and choose the type of GIS program that you desire.  They also have a free one to mess around with. Good Luck.

there are these surveyor guys who examine soil to evaluate its potential for residential or commercial building. I'm not sure where to find them though...you might want to google or call a local contractor in your yellow pages.

Can't help you with the license side of it but can tell you from a business perspective now is the time to make it happen. Land is remarkable cheap to include key areas such as Biloxi and Ocean Springs. Your major hurdle will be getting materials to job sites...it's my understanding I-10 and State 90 are both still closed or at limited capacity making it hard to get lumber, etc down there.

At a bare minimum, you'll need an Open water cert. Having that will be limiting, however. It's only good to 60 ft and doesn't include training for overhead environments (wreck penetrations). You'll be able to survey the exterior of a structure, not the interior. PADI, NAUI, SSI and IANTD all offer this type of course. All are about eviqvalent in training.\n Ideally, because many un surveyed wrecks lay below 60 ft in the Lakes, you'll likely want to delve into technical diving, giving you longer bottom times to complete work. PADI does offer what I consider a "beginner's course" in tech, but the best agency to learn it is IANTD in my opinion.\n The next certs you'll want to go for is a ROV and remote sensing Ops. We have depths going down as far as 1200 feet, beyond the ability of tech gear and training to deal with , cost effectively and safely. Having a remote operated vehicle operators certificate will enhance your employment prospects.\n Here's a few local links to archeology in our area and ROV training.\nhttp://www.culture.gov.on.ca/english/culdiv/heritage/archwat.htm\nhttp://www.abc.se/~pa/uwa/general.htm\nhttp://www.acuaonline.org/education.html\nhttp://www.archaeology.org/wwwarky/underwater.html\nhttp://www.saveontarioshipwrecks.on.ca/Chapters/toronto/archaeology.htm\nhttp://www.rov.org/student/ed_programs.cfm\nhttp://www.adc-int.org/programs-certs.htm\n\n As for diving courses, select your training by the caliber of the shop, not necessarily by the the actual training association they are affiliated with.\nhttp://www.naui.com/\nhttp://www.iantd.com/\nhttp://www.ssiusa.com/\nhttp://www.padi.com/padi/default.aspx\n\n Good luck and maybe pass on some hush hush side scan info. I'm always looking for new wrecks to dive. :)

Get in touch with the Operators Union in your area. They provide all the training and you'll be paid while you learn. The apprenticship program is usually 3 years. Just looking into this myself. I worked one job for them so far operating a forklift at a nuclear power plant. 24.50 an hour. \nGood Luck

Ok, first off, if it were me...\n\nI would select the part of the Country that I would like to live in... Desert, Forest, Mountain, Plains...\n\nI would get a topographical map of the area...\n\nI would also download  "Google Earth"  It gives you a map where you can see rivers, streams and houses in 3D!  Roads and all kinds of features, in order to find out what the place will look like.\n\nNow, I would also contact the nearest Government office near the place I would select.  First to find out more about the place, its amenities, and populations and regulations about everything there is to know about the area...(some are pretty indept about everything, if they know you want to relocate in thier area!).\n\nI would contact the Better Business Bureau to find a "reputable Real Estate Agent", and after that, I would also find out if they have the "listings online" for your perusal...\n\nPark Services would only let you know "where you cant build", or what the Fire Regulations and all other sort of ecological "no-nos" that you are not allowed to do, around thier lands.\n\nIn some Parks, you can "rent the land" but not own them, so you can put up a house, and if they say you gotta go, THEN, you gotta go, no ifs ans or buts, and you DONT get the price of your home back either!!  Because they may want to use the land for something else, and you are basically renting off them, and the house is there at "thier convinience" and they can tell you to skedaddle in a few days or weeks notice.\n\nSo, I would not want Government land, but private lots of sections with forest on them.\n\nAfter I have done all that, I would want to know of the lumber yards, (to build the house), and other things like stores, Groceries, and supplies, and if your going to grow vegetables a good greenerie... (gerneral store if they still have them :).\n\nI would want to know about law enforcement and the criteria on what your going to have to know about local codes and regulations, and also cellular service in the area, as you will probably be too far away for landline service, and too remote for cable, so a Dish would be a necessity if you want to keep up with news and programming.   \n\nIf there is a good running stream, you might think about investing in a good water Generator, to keep some electricity flowing to your home...(yep, they still make those things!).\n\nYou would have to find all the information about those things, and if you need a Doctor, or emergency room, find out how long it would take you to get to there.. or if they have helicopter service, for a true emergency...(depends on how far back into them thar hills ya want to go).\n\nGet enough acrage to farm, as you will be growing your own vegatables and crops to survive on, if you dont have a lot of money...(this REALLY takes a good amount for an undertaking like this!)...\n\nOther than that, if anyone else has anything I might have missed, then see what they have that I have forgotten...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

I suggest you visit IOSCAR and take the questionaire.  It will give you a range of suggestions.\n\nYou might try IOSCAR; it's free.  It asks you questions and suggests occupations based on your interests, knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It also has a lot of information on occupations and on the outlook for different occupations.\n\nhttp://www.ioscar.org/tx/\nhttp://www.ioscar.org/tx/ip/ipinstruct.asp

As a Mechanical Engineering student in the 60's I had to take several Civil Engineering courses including land surveying.  You may be able to have your land surveying questions answered in this engineering forum.  Good luck.  Incidentaly, engineering was originally divided into Civil Engineering and Military Engineering for obvious reasons of application.  As science advanced, specialties were added such as mechanical, electrical, chemical and aeronautic engineering.  There are still Civil Engineers who specialize in large structures and earth moving and Military Engineer such as West Point graduates.  Surveying is still a part of Civil Engineering.
