EP224 Milad Sadegi - Survey Technician & LSAW YSN

About this episode

Milad Sadegi shares his journey from finance to land surveying and the parallels with his photography career.

It is assumed that most surveyors are either born into the profession or discover it during their formidable years of education. Sometime, however, a career change opens one's eye to finding the passionate role their life may have been missing. This week's episode of "Surveyor Says! The NSPS Podcast" does just that. Your host, Tim Burch, caught up with Milad Sadegi, LSIT, and a member of the LSAW Young Surveyors Network, to discuss his transition from the financial field to the road to becoming a professional land surveyor. Milad and Tim discuss the similarities between surveying and Milad's part-time photography career in which both final products capture a specific moment in time. This conversation proves that it is never too late to discover a surveying career!
