Go the next step
Parker, John R.
I believe many surveyors have the desire to know what is over the next hill or round the next corner, that is, they have a little of an explorer in them, They want to go the next step. The paper will consider the importance of going the next stepp in professional development and further education, in standing up for our professional beliefs and recommendations, our ethics, in being a member of a professional association, in undertaking actual surveys and in generally being a good community citizen. The author will provide examples of where he didnnt go the next step and where he did. Being prepared to go the next stepp provides immense satisfaction, particularly when looking back on it, whether it be in ones private life, education, dealings with a client, an ethical dilemma, or in a survey. As surveyors we need to retain some of the explorer in us to be inquisitive, to look around the next corner or over the next hill.
