I enjoyed being outside and experiencing different places. Everyone in the office and field are nice and willing to work with beginners.
What I wish was different
Sometimes the spaces we worked in were not incredibly safe such as the side of a busy road (which is to be expected for surveying)
I wish I could've continued working there but I had to leave to finish my last semester of school.
Advice
Having an open mind is integral to getting the most out of this experience. I would advise a survey intern to invest in a good sunscreen.
